Alexa skill for School Administrators: Admin Kickboard

School and KB admins can now connect Amazon Alexa to their Kickboard account to receive daily insights about teacher and student usage and positivity. 

Before getting started, you will need to make sure that you have an active Amazon account. 

Once you have an active Amazon account, follow the instructions below to link your accounts and hear Kickboard information through the Alexa app or device.

1. Download the Amazon Alexa app through your phone's app store. 

2. Open the app and sign in with your Amazon account credentials. 

 

3. Tap the three bars on the top left to access the menu. 

4. Tap Skills and Games.

 

5. Tap the search bar on the top right.

 

6. Type "Admin Kickboard" into the search field, then tap Search on the bottom right.

7. Click the blue Enable to Use button.

8. To link accounts, enter the same email address and password that you use to log on to your Kickboard Account and click Log In. You will only need to do this once. (Note: This skill is currently only available to Admin or Kickboard Admin) 

 

9. Click the green Authorize button. 

You will get a message confirming your Amazon and Kickboard accounts were successfully linked. Click "Done".
