After reading chapter two of “Sail the 7 C’s” by Becky Keene and Kathi Kersznowski, I have learned how many different ways it is now possible to communicate and learn/teach from across the globe.

One of the many ways we’ve learned to communicate is through Microsoft Translator. In the example used in the text, at Chinook Middle School in Washington U.S.A, there are families from all different types of cultures. These cultures would lead to differences in language throughout the community. For a while, the communication going on throughout the school was not working. They used translators, but only for 4 different languages. Once the principal realized some people cannot understand what is being said, he turned to Microsoft Translator. All the parents had to do was download an app on their smartphone and listen. This made communicating between different languages a lot easier than it once was.

Many other translation apps exist, making it easier and easier to us to communicate through others around the world.
