Introduction to New Material - (5 min)

Participants, yesterday we learned how to open Google Chrome, how to type out a site name in the
address bar and how to open new tabs. Today we will learn how to use Google Search and then use
Google Translate to read the same text in different languages.

Now I want everyone to pay attention to the projection and follow my instructions and steps in order. In
case you need help, remember to raise your hand and not shout out, we dont want to distract anyone
around us.
(Facilitator should now project the group activities while the other participants watch and follow)

Note: The participants should pay complete attention to the facilitator at this point. Commented [1]:

To engage the participants you can play a few games. For ex: get all the participants to stand up
and close their eyes. Randomly call out participants to recall and say the class rules out loud. Participants,
one after another, recall what they learned yesterday. Each participant recalls one step in the sequence.

Reiterations will help participants remember Copy/Paste shortcuts. Participants forget to type
Ctrl/Cmd and C/V simultaneously. Keep reiterating simultaneous typing is necessary.

CLASSROOM CONNECTIONS
Teachers

Bridge Geographical Gaps - You can read information published by educators across the world without
having to worry about the language in which an article/blog post has been published. Just use Google
Translate to read the text in a language of your choice. This expands your access to the latest research in
teaching-learning practices and their applications in the classroom.
Share your Opinion - Post your comments to any article or blog post you have read. Just write what you
wish to say in your native language, use Google Translate to convert it into the language used by the
author and copy paste it in the comment window!
Communicate with Parents - Google Translate can be a valuable tool for parent communications,
especially if the parents are more comfortable in their native language rather than English. A teacher
could input a message to be e-mailed or written to a parent into Google Translate and then copy and paste
it into the desired document.

CLASSROOM CONNECTIONS
Students

Take a Language Leap - Have you ever wondered what a poem or a story written in a language
unfamiliar to you really means? Just copy and paste the original language text in Google Translate and
choose the language in which you wish to read the text.

Connect with Students across the world - You can join Learning Communities and interact with
students from various countries. Are you intrigued by a project idea written in French? Read it in the
language of your choice by using Google Translate. Do you like the project idea? Appreciate it by
translating your message to French and posting it as a comment!

In the participant notebooks, ask them to write down 2 things they learned today and 1 thing they still need to
work, have trouble with, or would like to know more about. Afterwards, have each person share one of the items
she wrote down.

Participants thank you for helping us! All of you were brilliant today! Im glad all of you tried to complete each
activity on the list today. I would like to wrap up the session by reviewing the initial activity of the videos. If you
could please go back to your notes on how to introduce these google tools and based on your extended knowledge
on them now, you refine how would you use that technology in your class in the short term it will be very helpful
to further settle the key learnings from today.
