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.

#Edtechbridge A3: well for starters students have a lack of interest in the coding part, and those who are interested in robotics give up

A3: Making sure it aligns to standards (even though it totally does!) and training teachers #edtechbridge

lavadragon0986 Mar 23 @ 7:28 PM EDT

@akashcoolman123 #EdTechBridge True. Students might not be interested and an uninterested programmer is a bad programmer

lavadragon0986 Mar 23 @ 7:29 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

A3: "coding" is a tool. It can and should be applied in many situations. Ask Ss how they'd teach a robot to make toast #edtechbridge

katyamuses 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

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

Q6:What is the best way to integrate robotics into school/structured learning time? #edtechbridge

A5: working / coding in #minecraft is great because kids definitely continue to work outside of class :) #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

@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.

@spaul6414 @nathan_stevens @katyamuses sure! #edtechbridge

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

dmp_gctc Mar 23 @ 7:28 PM EDT

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

VisionsByVicky Mar 23 @ 7:51 PM EDT

A6: Explore a curricular topic. For example, use Spheros to learn about relationship or time & speed to distance. #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
