Please note: This website and videos are in draft form, this is still a work in progress. We are just giving you a sneak peek in hopes we can gain feedback from other educators to help make this a valuable tool for families.
A Partnership Project with The Ballmer Group, Michigan Department of Eduation, GoOpen Michigan, and MACUL
Our schools and society have shifted to digital for so many things. It can be overwhelming to others to figure out how to navigate the platforms and sites and even more overwhelming if English is not the primary language for our families. These videos will hopefully help families have a better understanding of the education system here in the United States, as well as have the opportunity to get to know some of the digital tools utilized in our classrooms. Family-Home Partnerships are essential, and the goal is to help EL families feel more connected, therefore becoming more involved.
We would love for you to watch one or more of these videos and provide feedback before we launch these videos to the families in our pilots. Click here to access the simple feedback form.

If you would like to learn how to join the team or have vidoes that you think would benefit this collection, please fill out the form using the button below. We are truly just scratching the surface to create a collection of vidoes that will help Michigan ML/EL families feel more connected to their child's education and life here in the US.
Each of these links will take you to the video screen. Please use the AI Voiceover and captions to get an understanding of how these videos can be in a variety of languages.
Please note: To watch the videos in different languages, you will have to sign into Screencastify.
The languages that have a green check mark indicate that the video has already been dubbed in that language. Feel free to select another language, but know that it could take some time for that video to be ready to go. (About 5 minutes or so.)
Some of the AI Dubbing will translate the audio into a different speed. You can adjust the playback speed to a comfortable setting using the dashed playback button below the video. (i.e. Spanish is better at 1.75 speed.)
