Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: Home Visits Our school wants us to do home visits for every child in our classroom but we have such a high Hispanic population and not enough translators. How can we make these home visits worthwhile? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Don't forget about incorporating technology in your home visit. Google translate can be used to translate (or Spanish-English dictionary) simple phrases to let the parents know you care.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Great suggestion. The google translate app even allows you to use the microphone so you can speak into it and it will translate and read aloud what you said in the other language.

I would not try to use technology, but try yourself to speak the language.
