Google Translate

I have learned about Google Translate. It is a fun tool. I haven't had much use for this in Kindergarten but I have helped my dad communicate with his cousins in Sicily using this tool. How this works is: you type what you want in your native language - mine being English. You can have Google Translate show your words in a variety of languages (41 I think.) I have taught my 83 year old dad how to do this AND cut and paste it into an email or facebook for his Italian cousins.

I can see this being helpful if I am collaborating with schools around the world around a topic. I would be interested in learning how others would use this tool in their classrooms.

(PS - I have written about this in another blog already so I hope you don't mind it duplicated!)
