Robotics can be something you teach with, as well as something you teach about. Introduction to Programming uses robots, and covers robotics content, but ultimately seeks to give students experience and access to a much broader set of skills and perspectives called
Computational Thinking.
► Big Idea #1: Programming is Precise If you want a robot to do something, you need to communicate that idea with mathematical and logical precision, or it won’t quite be what you intended.
► Big Idea #2: Sensors, Programs, and Actions Data from sensors gives a robot information about its environment. A program uses that data to make decisions, and the robot Acts on those decisions. Data underlies the core of the entire process.
► Big Idea #3: Make Sense of Systems To understand the way something works, construct a mental “model” of it in your head that captures the important features and rules of the system. This helps you make sense of it, and also gives you a tool to “play out” (similar) new scenarios in your head to predict what would happen.
► Big Idea #4: Break Down Problems and Build Up Solutions To solve a difficult problem, try breaking it down into smaller problems. Then, solve the smaller problems, building up toward a solution to the big problem.
► Big Idea #5: Computational Thinking Applies Everywhere These skills – mathematical and logical clarity, using data, systems thinking with mental models, and problem solving – are not just for robotics. They are key to solving many problems in the world. A video introduction to these topics can be found in the “Big Ideas” block
Choose 1 of the "Big Ideas" listed above, and explain why a student can learn valuable information in the classroom while using the Lego robots.
I ALREADY DID THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IN 3RH HOURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
ReplyDeletegood for you :)
DeleteFINISHED IN 3RD HOUR
ReplyDeletedid in 3rd hour
ReplyDeleteA student could learn to break down problems and cause and effect relationships. They could also learn to have a bigger imagination.
ReplyDeleteI also did this in 1st hour.
DeleteIf choosing Big Idea number one it can help students in a classroom.In this big topic it may use many didn't types of math or solving math equations to get the programming correct. it may also use logic pictures to help program the robot. This robot will help reinforce mathematics and using basic common sense making it easier to build.
ReplyDeleteIdea 3. I think Legos are fun. And when you can see a problem in your mind it can help alot. With Legos i can see many kids just building up their idea from exactly what they have seen in their mind. Legos should be implemented in School to help the kids who learn and understand from mental pictures and from getting a hands on experience from it.
ReplyDeleteA child could learn to break down problems and cause and effect relationships. They also could learn how to work wit technology and other devices leaning how to control things.

ReplyDeleteA student could expand their imagination and it teaches them how to be precise, because if they are not..something could go wrong.
ReplyDeletea student could learn to apply there critical thinking skills to something more entertaining and also learn from it as well. the robot allows the user to think about what he/she wants the robot to do. said user could make the robot go through a maze for example, but to do this the user has to apply their own skills to the programming and not just wing it every single time. #5
ReplyDeleteIf they break down problems, the solution might be easier to find. In order to build something like a car or a computer, you have to build its components first. First, you'd have to build the frame, then the body, then the power source. Once all of that is done, then all you need to do is make sure everything fits into place and connect them all together. This makes the process a lot more simple
ReplyDeleteI think a student can learn from Big Idea #3: Making Sense of Systems. Every student learns by "Making scenarios" in their heads. I think that by using lego robots the student would have to think about how the robot will act. Making it a good exercise to the student's mind. With Big Idea #3, students will definitely learn something everyday in the classroom.
ReplyDeleteBig idea #3:
ReplyDeleteThe idea of making a robot out of Legos could really help students understand the engineering it takes to make something move.Using Legos in early childhood has helped children understand how to make a structure out of something. Now that the structures can move, it can open up a whole new part of their mind and how they process things. Robot Legos could probably help make more children become engineers when they become adults. Also it may help adults keep their children busy.

ReplyDeleteI believe Big Idea number 4 could really help students in a class room. If someone is struggling with a problem, it could be broken down into smaller, simpler, problems. This is good for someone who gets overwhelmed very easily. This would cause them to take it one step at a time. This would eventually lead them to solving the big main problem, but without the stress.
ReplyDeleteA child could learn to break down problems and cause and effect relationships.It could expand a childs imagination. the child would have to think about the robots specific actions making it a good way for a child to learn while also playing with a toy.
ReplyDeleteIdea #1, Its a way to teach kids how to build and help them control things. If kids want to grow up to build, in the future they can build amazing things with robotics that could potentially help us. I could also help kids come up with more creative things. I can change the future on how were changing the present now.
ReplyDeleteI think legos should be in school because believe it or not, you can actually learn from them. It helps the child be creative and legos also show how intelligent a child is. With legos, the child builds what the see in their mind. Legos can help even high school students express their thoughts in a more creative complex way. It may or may not help, just depends on the student.
