Over the past two years, Covid has played a significant role in everything that we do in the classroom. It has made it incredibly difficult teach and learn and we are practicing and developing new ways each day to try and create a new found sense of normalcy back in our schools. We have taught fully virtual and then we also had some in-person and some at-home at the same time, so we taught using the hybrid model. Now that we are back in our classrooms full time, it is incredibly noticeable that the students were most greatly affected by being at home and isolated, lacking those fundamental social development opportunities. Students are craving interaction but oddly enough, need to relearn how to work together and collaborate in the classroom. With this in mind, while diving into my Computer Science standards, I am hoping to use these various types of robots to help my students reconnect and work together to learn how to code. By creating various different models and formats while using our NVACS, but to do it in an environment that is fun, hands on, engaging, and encourages collaboration...I think my class will be highly successful! 5.AP.M.1 Demonstrate how to decompose a task of complexity into simple tasks and compose a simple task into tasks of complexity. 5.AP.M.2 Modify, incorporate, and test portions of an existing program into their own work, to develop something new or add more advanced features. 5.AP.PD.2 Describe choices made during program development using code comments, presentations, and demonstrations. 4.AP.C.1 Develop programs that include sequences, events, loops, and conditionals.
