Mote Train the Trainer December 2025 was presented by Shelly Hall and Brittany Horn. This session aimed to empower educators by providing them with the necessary skills to train other teachers in using Mote.
• Mote offers three distinct modes: Reading, Writing, and Creating, each designed to cater to different educational needs.
• The Read Aloud feature is versatile, allowing text to be read from Google Docs, PDFs, and even scanned images.
• Mote's translation tool supports over 50 languages, breaking down language barriers for students and educators alike.
• Educators can utilize the Mote Dictionary to enhance vocabulary learning and comprehension.
• The platform’s intuitive design ensures that both teachers and students can easily navigate and utilize its features.
The Reading Mode in Mote is designed to enhance text accessibility and comprehension. The Read Aloud feature reads text from the top of the page down, and users can customize the voice and speed to suit different learning preferences. This tool is particularly beneficial for students who require auditory learning support.
Additionally, the Select Area to Read feature allows users to highlight specific sections of text on a document or webpage, which is then read aloud. This functionality is especially useful in helping students focus on specific paragraphs or questions, thereby aiding in their comprehension and retention.
Writing and Creating Modes are integral parts of the Mote suite. These modes allow students to use speech to text and text prediction to write, and to develop their creativity and articulate their ideas through voice recordings, which can be easily integrated into various educational projects and assignments.
Mote's Translation Tool is a game-changer for classrooms with diverse linguistic backgrounds. With support for over 50 languages, this tool enables students and educators to translate text into their preferred language, which can then be read aloud. This feature not only facilitates learning for English language learners but also fosters better communication between teachers and parents.
The Mote Dictionary is a valuable resource for building students' vocabulary. By simply highlighting a word, users can access its definition and even listen to it being read aloud. This tool is particularly useful for reinforcing new vocabulary and ensuring students understand key concepts.
