Students speak to Skye out loud using their microphone. To help both student and Skye know when to talk and when to listen, students will use a 'click to speak' button.
This short video shows you how students can use the "Click to speak" button.
Students can talk to Skye in two ways:
Answering when it's their turn
Some questions require a spoken answer - when it's a student's turn to speak, they will see a "Click to speak" button in their toolbar
They can either click on the button, or hold down the spacebar, when they're ready to give their answer
As they talk, audio waves will appear - these show that everything is working and Skye is listening to their answer
When they've finished speaking, they click the button again (or release the spacebar on their keyboard) to send their answer
If a question requires a spoken answer and the student does not click the "Click to speak" button, a visual reminder will appear after 30 seconds
Asking Skye a question during the session
If a student wants to say something to Skye at another time in the session, they can press the "Raise hand" button in the toolbar at the bottom of their screen
The "Raise hand" button will light up when the student is able to click it - it will be available when Skye has finished speaking
Skye will start listening as soon as the student clicks the "Raise hand" button
