Help me give my students the opportunity to explore coding in a hands-on way. The Ozobots will help the students understand how coding can be used in real life and introduce them to computer science.
Hello, I teach 1st through 4th grade technology skills and am introducing students to computer science. My students are a diverse and exciting group that are ready to explore new kinds of technology including coding and robotics. Our school is located in the middle of a neighborhood and many students walk to school. I work with multiple grade levels and get to watch my students grow from year to year.
My students thrive on new experiences with technology!
Each year they challenge me to find new ways to use our technology and new devices to introduce them to. Student across my classes amaze me with their desire to explore different technologies and excitement when we find something new. We are always looking for new lessons and tools to use in our classrooms.
My Project
Using the Ozobots in the classroom will begin to give my students a better understanding of what coding is. They will be able to see how sequencing and debugging is important while writing code. These little robots will allow the students to learn about different sensors and how they effect the way computers and robots work.
Introducing these to our school will give us new ways to approach learning and teaching.
The Ozobots come with lesson plans online to integrate them into ELA, math, science, social studies and more. There is a community of educators sharing ideas of how to make use of the robots to influence learning in new ways.
The Ozobots will help us build a STEAM area in my school and give us a tool to get everyone thinking in a new way. We will move towards hands-on learning, in new and exciting ways.
