By visiting the Geography section we learned a lot about the United States, Europe, Asia, Africa and other places. We also got to know that learning becomes really easy if you do it on this website.

You will find how each topic is divided into several subtopics. The deeper you explore the website, the more you increase your knowledge of things. You kids will also learn a lot from this website. It is actually focused more on kids but adults learn a lot from it as well. There is no age for learning after all. One thing we want to inform you about is that the games on Sheppard Software use ‘Adobe Flash’ to run on. In your internet browser, you’ll be asked to ‘click to enable Adobe Flash’ before playing the game, possibly.

The sections we explored deeply on Sheppard Software are of Math and Geography. And we’re very impressed from both of these! In the Math section, we tried a few games related to fractions.

In the Sheppard Software fractions game, you are required to match the fractions with the corresponding diagram representing that fraction. We realized that it’s a very fun, interactive and innovative way of learning fractions for kids. And this is just the first game in the list! Imagine how much you’ll learn if you play the other games as well.

There is another really popular game on the website called ‘math man‘. You’ve played ‘Pacman’ right? If your answer is yes, then you’re absolutely going to love ‘math man’. This game is similar to ‘Pacman’ but there is a catch. In this game, you’re given a math problem like ’54 – 17′ on the bottom of the screen. Now, your goal is to eat the ghost that has the number ’37’ on it among all the ghosts because ’57-14=37′. How cool is that? Now your kids will have a great excuse to play games.

What is Amazon Echo Show?

Amazon Echo is very similar to Amazon Echo, but it has a screen. In case you didn’t know, Amazon Echo (often just called as ‘Echo’) is a smart speaker from Amazon.com. The speaker is connected to Alexa, which is a voice controlled virtual assistant like ‘Siri’ or ‘Google Assistant’.

Amazon Echo Show gives you much more flexibility than the Amazon Echo. You can use its screen to do multiple activities which we’ll discuss first in this article. Then, we’ll discuss the specifications, build and price of Amazon Echo Show.

Using Echo Show

Using the device is really easy. You simply have to plug it in, turn it on, connect it to your Wifi and login to your Amazon account. That’s it. Now, you’ll be able to start asking things and giving commands to the intelligent assistant Alexa.

Now, you’re supposed to keep it anywhere in your house, your kitchen, your bedroom or  any place you feel like. Then you can be busy with anything and be able to talk to it from a distance. This way you can do multitasking easily.

What you can do with Amazon Echo Show

On the home screen of Amazon Echo Show, you’ll see the time and weather updates. It will also show you about your upcoming meetings, or events, if any and the latest news. The device is voice controlled, so you can ask it to show you in detail anything that appears on screen.

On the screen, you can even watch videos from Amazon Prime or Youtube. For now, you cannot watch videos on it from any source other than these two. There’s plenty of other things that you can do with Amazon Echo Show like setting multiple timers, managing your to do lists, looking up recipes and even controlling the lights of your house. You can do all of this with just your voice. Simply ask it, and it will do it for you.

More features of Echo Show

For the music lovers, it is a pretty sweet device. You can be anywhere in the room and ask it to play any song and it will do it for you. The device has got Spotify. To enjoy the device to the full extent of its abilities, it is recommended you buy an Amazon Prime subscription. And then, all your multimedia entertainment will be taken care of.

What’s more? You can make video calls with this device. But as the device sits at an angle, little children, who generally have short heights might find it a bit difficult to adjust in the screen, if the device is kept at a height. To talk about the quality of video calls, it produces very sharp and good quality images. Also, you’ll rarely find any drops during the video call.

Apps on Echo Show

The Echo Show doesn’t have something like ‘Play Store’ or ‘App Store’ from where you can install apps. Rather, it has something called ‘skills’. To install a skill, simply ask it to install that and you’re good to go. But now you must be wondering how you’ll know the name of the skill. Well, it’s easy. Simply ask it to do something that it is not capable of. Then, it will suggest you the ‘skill’ required for that purpose.

Specifications and Build of Amazon Echo Show

• The device can be bought in Black and White colors. The build of the device is ‘blocky’. It is wider at the base and sits well on any plane solid surface.
• You get a 7” touch screen on the device. The device has got two 2” speakers. Also, it has 8 microphones. So, you’ll be audible to it even if you’re far away in the room.
• It runs on the Android OS.
• For power source, it has an adapter which you will need to plug into a wall socket.

Price of Echo Show

Amazon Echo Show costs about $230 at the time. It is way costlier than Amazon Echo, but it has many more amazing technologies added to it which make it worth the price.

A few negative points

A lot of us really love Netflix, but unfortunately you cannot see Netflix on the device, for now. We cannot say if it will be allowed in the future. Other than that, suppose you ask it for the nearest grocery store. It will do the job but it won’t show you maps.

Also, some people might not like the ‘angular’ or ‘blocky’ design of the Echo Show. They find it chunky and a bit heavy.

Should I buy Amazon Echo Show?

Many people must be wondering how it is different from an ‘ipad’, or any Android tablet. There’s actually a big difference. Any ipad or Android tablet is more suited for personal use for people. Whereas this device is more suitable for family use. Anyone from your family from anywhere inside the house can use Amazon Echo Show. It is a really simple device and you should definitely consider buying it.
