Mister Rogers paved the way for edtech
Rogers spent his professional life confronting traditional education’s challenges and limitations, imagining new ways of thinking about old problems and steadily adhering to his own core educational beliefs. By creating Mister Rogers, he created an example of what he wanted to see more of in the world, and preserved his ideals in his television show time capsule, to continue to inspire the future of education.
Find out about the three long-lasting influences on edtech from the legacy of Mister Rogers: https://www.eschoolnews.com/2017/11/03/mister-rogers-paved-way-edtech/?all

Have you tired Google Translate Yet?
My niece is on a year-long Mission trip9 her second) since graduating from college. Of course, she is blogging about it, a couple weeks ago she talked about an entire conversation with two women in the Ukraine in a MacDonalds using Google translate. If you want to read the story CLICK HERE.
"Upon their arrival, I had just taken out my journal and Bible to spend some time with Jesus, so I decided to continue this when one of the women slides her phone across the table with a translation app similar to Google Translate open with some Russian changed to English.
But, the app hadn't translated very well so I had no idea what she was trying to say. So I opened my phone to google translate where I had Ukrainian downloaded, and we spent the next thirty minutes communicating through technology."
All I can say is WOW, we all need Google translate on our phones for that JUST IN CASE moment!
