Technology is the way of the future, and our students don't have equitable access to resources that are convenient for them. Students will have the opportunity to write code with the Ozobots to express their learning in the everyday curriculum. This opportunity will enhance the students' creativity, enthusiasm, and understanding of the topic, while allowing the teachers to quickly and effectively assess their knowledge and build on their foundation. Imagine coding a Sphero to help give your presentation on the human body for you; you create the starting point and the Sphero follows its path, verbally sharing information about the different body parts as you go along. The Sphero can do this and more! The opportunities for the students to express their understanding is unlimited, and the excitement gained through the opportunity will create learning that will last a lifetime.
