I knew that the SpheroBots would be a great resource for our students but I wasn't sure if other people would also see the value. My 4th and 5th graders were truly engaged when the technology teacher and I co-taught a lesson on how to navigate the robots. Our students worked in pairs to \"drive\" the robot across the library. Once they were able to \"drive\", then we had them participate in a \"battle\" where they tried to tip over each others' plastic cups.\r\n\r\nI have been asked by several students when they will be able to do another activity with the Spherobots. I hope to have that in my plans soon.
