Section One

Once your Symphony Classroom is installed, you can speak to your new digital classroom assistant named Merlyn from anywhere in the classroom. Begin by saying, "Hey Merlyn..." An audible tone will let you know that Merlyn is listening, and ready to "Open Google Drive" or "Set a timer for five minutes." Or, you can ask basic questions like, "Hey Merlyn...(wait for the tone)...how are you doing?

"Hey, Merlyn..." is the wake word that triggers your Symphony Classroom to perform a spoken command.
