Torrance Robinson, eChalk’s Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer, explains how the ability to translate websites and school to home communications is increasingly important in this day and age. “It’s not just about reaching students in their own language, which we found to be extremely important, but it's also their parents who need to be engaged.”
