2. Children of the 80’s and 90’s will remember

3. “These robots are so cool, but how is it helping students be successful in my content area?”
What are these robots?
Ozobot Makey Makey
Sphero Little Bits

4. Three Learning Objectives
1) Teachers can use robots and robotic devices to teach assigned state standards
2) Teachers can use devices in ways they weren’t designed so students learn standards
3) Teachers will understand how tying these robots to standards instruction eases the purchasing abilities

7. Ozobot Small smart line following robot
Uses sensors to interpret information drawn on paper
Introduces linear thinking and cause/effect to students

8. Ozobot in Action Students learn how computers are programmed
Ozobot reacts to what the user draws on the paper
User can also program the Ozobot through proprietary software - Ozoblockly

9. Sphero
Bluetooth controlled device that allows the user to manipulate it in real time
Also can be programmed in proprietary app to complete tasks

10. Sphero in Action
Students learn more in depth programming by having the robot have more interactions and complete more tasks in its surrounding envrionment

11. Makey Makey Device that turns everyday objects into touchpads
Can be utilized with a computer in supplement the use of specific keys

12. Makey Makey in Action

13. little Bits little Bits are electronic building blocks
Each Bit has its own unique job/function
Bits snap together with magnets
No soldering, wiring, or programming

14. Standards Based Ozobot
24 Hours of Ozobot
Students found the speed of the Ozobot as it traveled around a mock Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona Circuit
Students found distance Ozobot travelled and divided it by the time it took the Ozobot to find the speed it was travelling
Can be converted from cm/second to km/hour

16. Standards Based Sphero
Students use a device with a Sphero to knock over objects of different mass
Students must figure out at what amount of energy is required to knock the object over

17. Ramming Speed Mr. Sphero

18. Standards Based Makey Makey
Students used Makey Makey to identify different objects around the classroom that were conductive
Students made a T-Chart of the objects-Conductive vs Nonconductive
Students then compare and contrasted the different objects and inferred what made something conductive

19. Makey Makey Making Noise
Video of students using Makey Makey Conductivity Lab goes here

20. Standards Based little Bits
Students constructed an apparatus that created sound or light
Then used apparatus to demonstrate wave properties
Also created an apparatus that demonstrates how energy is converted to chemical to other forms of energy

22. Funding Sources Use Lead Teacher Money
Demonstrate Standards Based Instruction
