I have also seen Google Translate used in action during Parent\/Teacher Conferences, where previously the teacher would patiently wait for the translator. Last year, my school received a student from France&nbsp;(French speaking only) who was severely&nbsp;aggressive, if was not for Google Translate the year would have been difficult to communicate with her. &nbsp;I believe&nbsp;Google Translate will allow for multi-cultures&nbsp;be more embraced in the classroom and abroad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Originally posted by unknown on September 23, 2017 As a grade 3 teacher in Alberta, we teach 4 major countries in social studies; Tunisia, Ukraine,&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/2020\/05\/26\/google-translatemaking-the-world-smaller\/\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Google Translate\u2026making the world smaller?!<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":71779,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1732","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mobileculture","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1732","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/71779"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1732"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1732\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1733,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1732\/revisions\/1733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1732"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1732"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1732"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
