How many learning opportunities can one device supply? The Amazon Echo will help my learners in reading by providing audio books to listen to, and providing background knowledge on topics they may not have previously known about. This device will help in writing by helping them to spell words and provide them with facts on topics they are interested in and include those facts in their informational pieces. In math it can provide them with songs to sing along to. During quiet time the Amazon Echo can provide the classroom with calming music to help the students relax and refocus on learning. With so many uses, I’m excited to introduce my students to Alexa, our new learning tool!
