Students in 4th grade were recently working on friendly letter writing. One of Mrs. Ganong's students wanted to write to her grandparents but their first language was Polish. Although the student can speak and understand Polish, she wasn't sure if she could write it. She used Google Translate to help. First, she wrote in English, then pasted her work into Google Translate. Once it translated her writing, she was able to check it over to make sure it sounded right. The whole class benefited as well, because Google Translate will read aloud the translation. It's remarkable what technology tools like Google Translate can do to facilitate communication!
