My Project

Learning should not be one size fits all for our children. Language can be a barrier for kids to communicate and share in their learning spaces. Interacting with their teachers and friends in one of the most valuable learning tools available to children.

As a new teacher for English Language Learners, I would like to add a Pocketalk Voice Translator to our learning space for my students to have the ability to use a Text-to-translate camera that instantly recognizes and translates spoken text, written words, and signs for students to be able to interact in different languages with their classmates and teachers, as they learn to speak a new language.
