3: Translating our Messages and the Blog

We would like to share a great tool with you. Google Translate is pretty good, but it often misses some important grammar or meanings. There is a better translator that we recommend. It is a free app called DeepL. Just to show you what it looks like, I have copy / pasted some of this blog into the DeepL translator.

4: PLG of the Month!

For the month of May, Hope will be focusing on the Personal Learning Goal of being “Ethical”. This can be a difficult goal to understand as interpretation can vary from person to person. At Hope, we view an “Ethical” learner through the following qualities:

Making the “right choices” in a situation, even if no one is watching.
Identifying what is the most “right choice” to make in any situation.
Understanding why rules are in place and how they can help society.
Understand that different cultures have different rules and where these rules come from based on historical influence.
Making selfless decisions, even when this may be challenging
Making positive choices, even when this may be difficult.
