What is an Ozobot?
An ozobot is an awesome tool to make learning come to life and to bring technology into the classroom! An Ozobot is a tiny robot that reads color code. If implementing coding in your classroom makes you a bit uneasy, don't worry! Ozobots are a perfect way to introduce your students to coding in a simple way. Ozobots have a sensor beneath them that reads color codes, or the different combinations of colors.

How Can I Use Ozobot? |
There will be five Ozobots available to check out from the media center to use with this challenge. Plan for this challenge to be completed in collaborative groups. Students are using "coding" as an entertainment activity through sites such as Minecraft and Roblox. The robots are coded by colors and follow a path.
Mapping activities are an excellent way to integrate this technology. Special markers come with the Ozobots but any colored markers will work, as long as the lines are thick. This a new technology for us and the possible uses in the classroom are endless. Some links to lesson ideas are below. If you are able to create a new way to incorporate them into your learning, please share. ozobot.com/stem-education/stem-lessons www.talkinpinata.com/blog/2016/6/5/5-ideas-for-implementing-ozobots |
