This week in “The Maker Movement and Education,” a UNC undergraduate class taught by Professor Keith Sawyer:
This week the students are exploring how to use programmable robots to help children learn. I asked the students to find a lesson plan activity on line, one that uses one of three robots to help children learn math: OZOBOT Evo, Sphero, and Dash. (The robots are surprisingly affordable, around $100 each, but when you buy enough for 35 students you’re talking a couple of thousand dollars! Thank you to the School of Education for supporting this class!)
Here’s a photo of the OZOBOT Evo, being controlled by the smartphone you see.
Here are a few other photos, with OZOBOT Evo and Sphero Mini:
thanks for sharing Keith.
How about LEARNING FROM ROBOTS?
I have had some teachers and professors and a couple bosses who seemed like they were robots.
