Teachers seem to have more and more to do every day. We try to be there for all of our students at all times, but understandably, that is not possible. Often a student will try and interrupt a small group to find out what a word means or ask a question about spelling. It is hard to not answer the child, but it is also difficult to take time away from a teachable moment. What if my English language learners could walk up to an Echo and say, "Alexa, what is discouraged?" Or what if they could walk up to the Echo and ask it a question in Arabic, to clarify something they are doing in English? More and more newcomers are arriving at our school, not able to speak any English at all. We use google translate sometimes, but the Echo would be so convenient in each classroom. When I began this grant I was only asking for one Echo. But my students spend time in the other three classrooms as well, so I thought if we could have 2 Echo dots in the other rooms, we could make sure they were always available to all of our students. It is also a great tool for our native English speakers. They can use it for quick references or spelling. They could use it as a thesaurus.
