Tech Tip - How to Make Emails Easier to Read


Maybe you feel like I do when reading a small font size on a long email. It makes reading a chore. Mac computers have a keyboard shortcut that allows users to quickly enlarge or reduce font sizes. Here's how: open an email, hold the "command" key, then hit the + key to enlarge the font. Do the same to reduce the font but use the minus key instead. No more squinting and yes, this shortcut will work with other documents. It is a great tool to use with your classroom projectors, too.

  1. Students who are taking tests on computers can use this shortcut tip too. Many times the font gets smaller as the reading difficulty increases. This allows the student some control over the size of the text size.
