In the accompanying Wakelet for Chapter 2 in the textbook, Sail the 7 C’s, I found this site that Microsoft created that provides a free translator for teachers with students that do not speak the same language. This translator can be used for all types of languages and even sign language as well, so kids who are deaf can learn just as quickly as their other classmates.
This app can create a lot of diversity in the classroom, especially if there are one or more students that do not speak English or have trouble speaking a certain language, it can allow the teacher and other classmates to communicate with those students and make sure that they do not fall behind or feel left out during lessons or conversations. It can also open up lots of possibilities for teachers to teach abroad and travel to different countries and teach at foreign countries where schooling is a very limited thing.
Overall, Microsoft really closed the bridge with communication gaps by creating this translator. It can open the door to many new teaching possibilities in the future and will help children all around the world grow and thrive in their futures.
