Ozobots are tiny robots that follow color commands. Students program or code the robots by drawing line and color patterns on paper and watch the Ozobot follow the commands. The Ozobot also works with two iPads (and I am sure more will be developed) to move and dance. We are just beginning to explore what we can do with these fun little robots and we ill be sure to share what we discover.

The 2nd graders used the EduCreations App on our class iPads to demonstrate how they add two digit numbers with regrouping. It is interesting how each student explains it a little differently and how it helps me understand my students thinking.
1st, 2nd and 3rd graders had a great time coding this week. The Foos looks like a game, but requires students to write the code to tell their character what to do. They get to make decisions that impact how the character moves and what happens in the game. The game starts out with simple commands and gets more difficult. The children are easily able to navigate each level and able to figure out what needs to be done. They were very happy and excited to help each other and were begging to visit The Foos on their next visit to the computer lab.
