We have a new SMART Lab at our school. SMART Lab students are Kindergarten through 6th grade. In our SMART Lab students work in stations with a partner. Students will use programs supported by iPads as part of the curriculum. Since programming can be abstract, having to control a physical robot and understanding how it can be manipulated, students will learn what programmable robots can do through critical thinking and problem-solving. Ozobots, Sphero, and Dash robots provide a hands-on, engaging way for students to learn programming using precise instructions and sequential thinking. Programmable robots will allow students to understand programming as well as begin to understand computer science. Programming helps students understand how the technology works in the real world and can help students evaluate if they will have interest in computer science as a career. These programs interface with an iPad in a variety of ways. Color, speed, direction, and voice are just a few ways students can program using their iPad. What do these programs do? Students develop critical thinking skills with Ozobot robots using Ozoblockly. iPads are used to sync the robot to the program in order to engage student learning by programming paths, adjusting speeds and dragging and dropping code blocks to create challenging courses that move the robot. Dash is a robot for young children that respondS to coding adventures using an iPad. Dash moves, spins, lights up, make sounds, bypasses obstacles, and can move with sound direction. Sphero is a durable sphere students can program. It can be used to teach concepts in many content areas. It is a polycarbonate plastic ball which rolls, changes colors, runs programs while being controlled via Bluetooth on an iPad. Additional products that our iPad will support are OSMO and Seesaw.
