A6: Ss code Spheros and Ozobots (or other robots), then calculate their speed. #FLedChat

Man...I wish I could have been here from the beginning. :) I'll be sure to check out the archive as soon as it's available. #FLEdChat

CCGA comes with curriculum so you do not have to know how to code. You learn with students & they explore! #fledchat https://t.co/ERcKEZ02WF

Love the Mad Lib idea :). #FLedChat

Create calculators for geometric formulas, create mad lib style programs to practice grammar, make simple simulations/review games #FLedChat
