Pocketalk for Meeting Student Communication Needs!

Help me give my students the opportunity to express themselves and have the assistance they need through a translation device. Pocketalk would be so valuable in meeting students needs.

My Project

I need a translation device! Our school district has 80+ languages and it isn't possible to find interpreters for all students.

Pocketalk will allow me to converse with students more easily.

As a school psychologist, such a device is invaluable. I need to have open communication with all of my students and language acquisition is often a barrier. I would so appreciate having this assistance to enable me to do a better job. Frequently, I work with students of various cultures. I would love to show them respect by speaking with them in a language that makes them comfortable.
