Artifact # 7
Competency 13.3: “ Use media and technology to support learning for children whose primary language is not English.”
Context:
I went to www.freetranslation.com
and I wrote a letter to a student’s parents. I then used the site’s program
to translate the letter from English to Spanish. I then used this site
to translate a web page from English to Spanish. I translated www.pbs.org
web site to Spanish.
I then went to the site www.englishlearner.com.
I printed off a hangman game. The game hangman and other resources on this
web page will help a student learn his or her English.
Impact:
In NC, there were over 44,000 students who understood little or no English. Since I will be teaching in NC, it is highly probable that I will have students, or parents of students, who are not fluent in English. I will have to be able to use programs, such as free translation, in order to effectively communicate with these people.
Alignment:
This artifact aligns with
competency 13.3. I now know how to use the computer to translate notes
and web pages into different languages. This will be extremely helpful
when I need to communicate with non-English speaking people.
