EdTech in Action: Google Translate for Instruction

2.5 PD Hours

Are you looking for a way to foster learner agency by leveraging translation tools in the classroom, rather than banning them? Are you looking for ways to support learner comfort and relationship building during your program’s intake process and advising meetings? Are you looking to do all this and more in ways that build students’ confidence using translation tools that will frequently appear in their lives outside of your program? Join this EdTech in Action workshop on instruction with Google Translate, which will equip you with the skills and knowledge to leverage Google Translate (or other similar translation applications) in unique, convenient, routine-based ways to support clear instruction for your adult learners. You will also have the opportunity to test out one of the Google Translate routines during the session to model this practice and prepare to implement it. What you learn in this session will apply to several translation tools, so don’t hesitate to sign up if you are not a Google user!

Using World Education’s EdTech Integration Strategy Toolkit as a guide, the four-part EdTech in Action learning series explores practical edtech routines for adult educators and program administrators. Each session focuses on a specific edtech tool, demonstrating two key routines—one instructional and one programmatic—for its effective use. Participants will learn to identify the tool's potential, apply foundational skills to implement demonstrated routines, and adapt strategies to meet their program's unique needs.
