A1: Hi! My name is Amanda Ebbott, I’m a preservice teacher, and I’m originally from Akron, Ohio, but I’m studying Early Education at Grove City College! #edumatch
A2: working in Residence Life I haven’t directly been involved with robotics but my residents in engineering use a robotic car with a camera and a arm to get tools and pass things around the halls.#EduMatch
A3- I think a robotics program should be integrated. I had one in #middleschool and aside from building and programming robots, we learned all about computers and their abilities. Also created a natural energy project in the class for real world problems #edumatch
A2. I don't know a lot about #robotics, but I used to work at an amusement park that hosted a physics day for many elementary and middle school students interested in engineering. Some students created their own robots and competed against one another. #edumatch
A3: I think it should be both! It would be good to have a sharp focus on #robotics, but also to integrate it into multiple other content areas. #edumatch#gccedu
A2: Robotics are a form of technology used for different areas. In our teh class, we are learning on how to use different EdTech tools such as classdojo, gynzy, and Googleforms for teaching students. #EduMatch#gccedu
RT edu_match: Q3. Do you feel that a robotics program is a stand-alone or should it be integrated across content areas? Why, and/or how? #EduMatchhttps://t.co/uEuJmiz2Kh
A3. I definitely think robotics can be implemented in a variety of different content areas. I think it's a great way for students to learn math, physics, etc. #edumatch
A4 students gain knowledge of programming and mechanics that they can take out of the classroom. Knowing proper cords and wires along with circuit boards goes a long way in life outside the classroom #edumatch
A2: Robotics to me in teaching is educational tools such as Khan Academy and other things such as Kahoot! Some elements are scoring systems to keep children interested in the topics. #edumatch
A3: Robotics should defintley be integrated in content areas. It it is used in different ways, wherther it is for engineering, computer science or educstion. #edumatch#gccedu
A3: I believe it should be integrated into as many areas as possible so children have multiple opportunities to understand concepts they may not have understood in class. This will be able to give them the push that they need to fully understand the topic. #edumatch
A4: One benefit from students learning robotics is when students are given the opportunity to create something interactive that they think is cool, their engagement levels increase, and they retain more information. #edumatch#gccedu
A4. I think students can really enjoy designing and programming their own robotics. Besides learning computer skills and science. It gives students a sense of creativity. It teaches them they can doing anything they put their mind to in a growing world. #edumatch
A5: I have never participated in a Robotics competition but I have watched one. It is very intense and I was surprised to see how engaged and serious the students took the competition #EduMatch
A4: As an early education major, I think that pulling in robotics into the classroom can be a great platform for everything that comes along with it! Introducing these types of things to kids can inspire future careers as well as strengthen imaginations #edumatch#gccedu
A5. I have never participated in a robotics competition. Although, my nephew has and I worked at an amusement park, where they hosted competitions for elementary and middle school students. It's interesting to watch and the kids have a fun time with the experience. #edumatch
A5: I have never participated in one, but seen brief snippets of one. It’s amazing what the students are learning to do, and I am planning on integrating it into my classroom! #edumatch#gccedu
Remember to share your learning with other educators in your PLN! Participate in the #EduMatch challenges, and let's all learn together. Find out more at https://t.co/GaYTehstRJ.
A6. As an English major I think this would be an interesting way of incorporating robotics into the classroom. However, this could be a way to teach my students to research the field of science and analyze and gather data about robotics and create something themselves. #edumatch
A2: Robotics involve the technologies we can use in the classroom to help teach class. My class went through the Google Fundamentals Training which taught us about different ways to use google. I also have used class dojo with my students. #EduMatch
A3: Absolutely. It would be very positive to integrate it into many subjects. Robotics can be implemented into subjects from english to math to science and even reading. #EduMatch
A4: There are so many benefits to students learning robotics. They can be a great incentive as well as a helpful learning tool. One of many tools I have learned to use is all things Google. A huge benefit is facilitating group and individual work. #EduMatch
A5: Although I have never participated in a robotics challenge I have been to one I think some of the concepts will be beneficial to my future students. #edumatch
A5: I have never participated in a robotics competition, but I can imagine that it is very engaging and an amazing way for students to learn even more about technology as well as new knowledge. #EduMatch
A6: I would definitely recommend completing the Google Fundamentals Training. It helped me to learn new options for providing group work, assignments, and assessments, as well as providing teachers with immediate feedback and communication with their coworkers. #EduMatch
Thanks to everyone for an amazing discussion on #robotics! Panelists were @MrTottyMath@tr_bo@crikeypotter and Gino Tagaytay. Thanks to our panelists, tweeters, lurkers, YouTubers, and people who will do when the episode is released. #EduMatch
