    1. Mate Translate

      I have used a similar chrome extension called Image Translate, Documents to text that will translate a picture of a document or PDF. I had a few Spanish speaking students at the start of the year who knew very little english and this at least helped in that language barrier. I did have a student that spoke dead South American language last year that unfortunately was not supported by any app, extension, or the like. She knew very little Spanish as well so that did not help either. She was a smart kid that wanted to learn to play the violin; which reading music is already like learning a foreign language, and through small phrases and much pointing to pictures and whatnot we were able to communicate fairly well with each other.

    1. Planet Arcade Games (games.noaa.gov), sponsored by the National Oceanic andAtmospheric Administration (NOAA), has collected science games students can play toexplore science topics. An aggregator, NOAA also has collected child-appropriate sciencegames from several other government sites. Activities are suited for late elementary andhigher grade levels. Some links go to activities on subscription-only sites.

      I do like how this is presented through the use of games. Our current students can be very game driven and this might help to spark some interest.
