Setup Time 5-15 minutes
Great with ELL
How I Use It
Great for establishing a connection with the parents of my ELLs. The translations are far from perfect but they allow for a touchstone for families with limited English proficiency. I like that I can do it from my phone but that my number remains private.
My Take
The app is great for sending quick reminders or photos of forms/homework with a decently translated explanation.
