New Chromebook Feature

Chromebooks have a new accessibility feature for people who have impaired mobility.  This feature is called face control and allows users to scroll and click with facial gestures.  The actions and gestures can even be customized.  Enabling face control AND dictation opens the door to so many possibilities for someone with limited mobility.

How to control your chromebook with your face:

• Enable face control in the accessibility menu.
• Smile to left click and open your mouth to scroll.
• Use head movements to control the mouse.

Make Fillable PDFs with Canva & DocHub

 

One of my teacher friends asked how to make a PDF designed with Canva into a fillable PDF.  This request sparked new learning.  I had never made a fillable PDF before.  Fillable PDFs may not be very Chromebook friendly, but this is still pretty cool.  I love learning something new!

Here's how to turn a design created in Canva into a fillable PDF:

• Download the design from Canva as a standard PDF.
• Upload this PDF to DocHub and click the create document button.
• Click the manage fields button on the toolbar in DocHub.
• Add text, paragraph, and/or checkbox fields to your document.
• Download a PDF from DocHub.  This is the PDF that will be fillable.
