Budget Game
From Personal Finance Lab - I use this in my sessions with youth. The game provides many opportunities to make money decisions and have discussions with youth.
Canva
I use Canva, a digital design software, for all kinds of things like creating worksheets, Facebook ads, webpages, logos, resumes, instagram ads, cover letters -- you name it! It makes my sessions more personal. It has a huge design capacity. So, take it slow.
Google Lens
I cannot tell you how excited I am about this! Listening to information is reading too!
Google Lens can read text aloud from a screenshot or a live image. Here’s how to do it:
On Android
- Take a Screenshot – Capture the screen you want to read.
- Open Google Photos – Find your screenshot in the Google Photos app.
- Tap on "Lens" (Google Lens Icon) – It looks like a small square with a dot in the center.
- Select "Text" – Google Lens will detect the text in the image.
- Tap "Listen" – A button will appear at the bottom that says "Listen," and Google Assistant will read the text aloud.
💡 Alternative: If you don't have Google Photos, you can also open Google Lens from the Google app and scan your image directly.
On iPhone
- Open the Google App (Install from the App Store if needed).
- Tap the Google Lens Icon (Camera icon in the search bar).
- Choose an Existing Screenshot or take a new photo.
- Tap "Text" to highlight the words.
- Press "Listen" to hear the text read aloud.
