Hi all! Katya, NYC, UX Research @brainpop, when I hear "robot" I think of Lego Robotics #edtechbridge

lavadragon0986 Mar 23 @ 7:02 PM EDT

#EdTechBridge To me a robot is someone who can do what regular humans cannot. They have a heart, and they help protect people if need be.

lavadragon0986 Mar 23 @ 7:28 PM EDT

#EdTechBridge @mr_isaacs Yeah, code literacy would be an issue. However, we could teach that by having students learn multiple things @ once

JulianMiller Mar 23 @ 7:30 PM EDT

@minnie0672 Really good point. Since most Ts are learning coding/robotics too, PD cant be one and done #edtechbridge

A5: I am fortunate in that my students have class every day and kids are often motivated to continue at home (not assigned) #edtechbridge

ohcanadatweet Mar 23 @ 7:47 PM EDT

A5 any specific lesson goals out there that support standards? #EdTechBridge

nathan_stevens Mar 23 @ 7:47 PM EDT

Code your day in the classroom by figuring about their movement #EdTechBridge

kerszi Mar 23 @ 7:47 PM EDT

@CGedtech @mr_isaacs @koduGameLab That's what I want- at least approval 2 teach a UNIT of some coding for each grade level. #EdTechBridge

@LucyKosturko @Sphero we use @tickleapp but you can also use @gotynker app #EdTechBridge

@katyamuses Supervisor said stick to NJ Standard 8.1. Keyboarding, word processing, dig cit, presentations...the basics. #EdTechBridge

WillcottJulie Mar 23 @ 7:49 PM EDT

@mr_isaacs A6. Start them young. #EdTechBridge https://t.co/in8HuR1hhY

spaul6414 Mar 23 @ 7:49 PM EDT

@BcCotter @katyamuses Totally agree! It's really Logic! Higher order thinking for Ss. #edtechbridge coding should be done at all grades.

I read @codehs as "coders" in a #Boston #accent in my head #EdTechBridge https://t.co/dyAFcTsOk8

A2: @codehs successful because it starts with simple programs and becomes more difficult #edtechbridge

ohcanadatweet Mar 23 @ 7:50 PM EDT

A6 collaborate w/ other Ts, see how the ELA, Math, SS teacher could integrate learning goals 2 support standards #EdTechBridge

akashcoolman123 Mar 23 @ 7:50 PM EDT

#edtechbridge A6: well robotics requires math and some elements of science, for example how the angles change and if there is a pattern

robbiestells Mar 23 @ 7:50 PM EDT

For sure! Tons of free online documentation and videos to learn on your own as well #edtechbridge https://t.co/YKSbgFCAfR

Lack of Access leads to significant misunderstanding around interest and motivation. Equity matters & we can't overlook facts #edtechbridge

@nathan_stevens Just spoke to my Social Studies tchr abt playing Oregon Trail in clsrm. Told him abt the coding aspects. #edtechbridge

We (USA) are still lagging in #STEAM bec/e we've taken out the FUN in learning. #coding can bring that fun back. Integrate. #EdTechBridge
