Are you using the Amazon Echo Dot in the classroom? If not, I need for you to ask yourself why? This is the perfect way to save yourself loads of time.

Amazon Echo Dot
In this video I list 30 ways to start using Alexa in your classroom today. For instance, my favorite tip is that she can pick a random number for your flexible grouping. While filming this video, I kept remembering why I used the Amazon Echo Dot in the classroom. Do you live in a busy town? Fear no more, Alexa can help navigate you through traffic and so much more. Secondly, do you ever feel like you are being rushed to organize your students in groups? Another tip, the Amazon Echo dot can quickly and effectively group your students for you without wasting precious teaching time. As a teacher, I understand the importance of every single second of your days is and I want to help you accomplish as much as you can in the classroom.
Amazon Experience
After reviewing the Amazon Echo Dot on my Youtube Channel, I was contacted by Amazon! Luckily, I got to fly to New York and chat with teachers as a television host on Amazon Live. Undoubtedly, it was such an amazing experience. You can watch the vlog all about it here.

Hi!
Could you please share your checklist for the Echo? I can’t seem to access it with the link.
Thanks!

I updated the link Susie!
Do you have a link to the alexa checklist? I am unable to get the checklist. Thank you!

Today is my first day with an Echo Dot in my classroom….I teach kindergarten. This tool is amazing. We spent almost an hour teaching the students how to wake it up and speaking clearly enough to be recognized. Then it occurred to me. I created a new list called Tattletales.
I taught them how to add a tattletale to the list and I’ll look them over at night. What a help.
That’s so awesome Sarah! Thank you so much for sharing. Let me know if you need me.
Do you know how it would work with the Alexa app to have an Echo at home and at school? I don’t want to link the two speakers, but it would be based off the app on the same iPhone… Thanks!
