AskMyClass - Teacher's assistant on Alexa

We just launched "Alexa, ask my kid for a big conversation". So you can have a guided/thoughtful conversation about #COVID19 with young kids. First go here askmykid.com/e to enable the skill. 9 question stems or prompts to chat over dinner. #parents #Teachers #kidsathome

Excited for our speech-interactive early literacy program, Sound Town, to be part of the @SETDA #Edtech Emerging Partners program! Thank you for this opportunity. setda.org/news/press-rel…

All the infographics tonight are coming from our work with @openvoicenet and how to help the voice assistant industry interact with education and educators #edtechchat bit.ly/OVON-VoiceEDU

@TG_Neil @juliedavisEDU Some ideas for making supporting teachers in the flow of the day: The music "Alexa, play relaxing music" or timers "Alexa, set a 15 minute discussion timer" or reminders, "Alexa, remind me to send Sam to the front office at 2pm today"

Q2: Many families use voice assistants to support at-home learning. Can you think of a way you could bridge at-home and in-classroom learning with a voice assistant? #edtechchat
