Woo hoo! Made Manifest is a new NYC Certified Women Owned Business (Vendor #: VS00087371) We are excited to announce a partnership with NYC DOE that focuses on using digital tools in the classroom with multilingual learners.
When students struggle to grasp a new language, it can pose challenges in effectively interacting and forming social connections with peers, as well as hinder their comprehension of new concepts.
By using Microsoft Translator, live captions and other tools, teachers can effectively engage students regardless of their language. The real-time translation capabilities enable students to actively participate in classroom discussions and immerse themselves in both the subjects being taught and the social interactions around them.
Translator saves time, provides real-time translation, and maintains students' engagement during classroom conversations. Made Manifest and the Lower Hudson Regional Information Center (LHRIC) have recently completed a pilot with the Mount Vernon City School District in Mount Vernon, NY where 35 teachers and over 100 students were trained and began using translation tools for these purposes.
Rita C., a pilot participant and 5th grade teacher, summed up the success of the pilot in the following words: "He is a whole new student. I'm able to really see how much he knows and where he struggles the most. It has been an absolute blessing.”
Workshop and In-Class Coaching Series: Digital Tools for Inclusion of English New Language (ENL) Learners.
This training will focus on training teachers to incorporate translation tools (Microsoft Translator, Google Translate, Apple Translate, PowerPoint Live Captions, Present Live, Immersive Reader, etc.) with students in the classroom environment. Please reach out to learn more as this is a GAME CHANGER.
