Mote PDF for Google Drive

Install the Mote PDF app from the Google Workspace Marketplace and every PDF in your Drive gets an Open with Mote option. No Chrome Extension needed.

What this feature does:

Mote PDF for Google Drive is Mote PDF's app in the Google Workspace Marketplace. Install it once and every PDF in your Drive gets an Open with Mote option, so a file goes straight from Drive into Mote rather than you opening Mote PDF and going looking for it.

It does not require the Chrome Extension, and Google Workspace admins can install it for all of their teachers and students in one go.

Why it matters:

  • Meets teachers where their files already are, which is Drive, not a separate web app
  • Admin-installable across a district, so it does not depend on every teacher finding and installing it
  • Works without the Chrome Extension, which matters for staff and students who do not have it
  • Two clicks from a PDF sitting in Drive to a PDF a student can hear, translate and mark up

MTSS:

  • Tier 1: Every PDF in the district's Drive becomes workable
  • Tier 2/3: Fewer steps between a student and the accessible version of a worksheet

UDL Principles:

  • Multiple means of representation: existing PDFs become accessible in place
