Final Padlet- How to Make a Recycled Robot

Video Description: Student 2
In this video, you see an elementary student making a robot she was assigned over spring break. In this video, she explains the items she collected to  use for the recycled robot, how she used the items, why she used the items, what to use the recycled robot for, and even the easy and hard parts of creating the recycled robot.

Connection- Student 1: This video shows the girl working on a video project, fully explaining her understanding of the mathematical concepts that go along with building a recycled robot. This is a great way to test a students knowledge without actually using an in-class test. Van de Walle says on page 97 that assessment is "a way to collect evidence about a students' content knowledge, flexibility in applying that knowledge, and dispositions, or attitudes towards mathematics." This is demonstrated in this video and it is something that students will enjoy more and get more long term information from.

This is a video that shows third graders building robots in their classroom. The teachers are a big part of this video by explaining what they have seen from starting this project and how it has helped their students. The video first talks about how this is a perfect way to incorporate project based learning and hands on learning. It then talked about how their students interest was extremely high from the start. Not only was the incentive there because they could build a robot at the end, but specifically that they could build their own type. There wasn't step by step directions on how to create the robot. Instead, they had to use what they just learn and use their resources to create it. One thing that really interested me, was when they talked about vocabulary. One of the teachers mentioned how she the students vocabulary has grown from this project. The students were using term like; switches, motors, soldered, energy sources, and sensors to explain their robots and how they were able to create it.

This article gives light to a third grade class in Florida who had the opportunity to build recycled robots. It gives information of both student and teacher interviews. When the teacher in the classroom was asked why she does recycle robots with her students, she says that she wants her students to know that they can reuse items that they normally would throw away. She also says that she is sure to let students know that they are helping the environment by doing this. In all of the student interviews, it is clear that the students are very engaged in what they are doing and excited about learning more. This is something that we have talked a lot about in class because engagement is so important. When doing recycle robots, students are learning while they are doing something that interests them and that is so important for their education. This is something that we hope to incorporate into our future classrooms in order to better our students and their understanding of recycling objects in order to help the planet.

2. The recycle robot allows for students to not only learn about recycling but also put it into exciting and useful form. An idea that I had would be to start a lesson about recycling and then ask students to bring recyclable items from home to school. Then they would be given the opportunity to build a recycle robot with their items. This allows them to see that not everything we put into the trashcan is actually trash.
4. In order to build the recycle robot, a student must have knowledge on how to measure items. Vandewalle touches on how important it is to know proper ways to measure and how measurement can also be a comparison, not just an exact number. In this case, students will be using both comparisons and exact measurements in order to properly assemble their robot.

Nice work on your video presentation with audio. It was information, creative and organized. Do you think you'll use this same method for your project?

1. What have you learned about your innovative technology?
-  We have learned so much about the recycled robot. To start,  we saw that you don't need a kit from amazon and can collect the materials yourself. Also, we learned that there are so many subjects that can play apart to this. English and Language arts can be applied by reading about recycled robots and writing ideas on how to build them. Math is involved when putting it together and using measurement and other tools to help. Science is involved by the use of solar power and batteries. Also, social studies can be added into the lesson by learning about the countries or even the worlds history on trash and how it has now impacted our environment.

3. How does your activity, lesson and technology encourage “Worthwhile Tasks”?
- This encourages "Worthwhile Tasks" by encouraging collaboration among the groups and class, teaches students how to reuse items in the everyday world, and challenges each student because most likely, it is something that they have never done before. All in all, we really think this promotes critical thinking which will later help and influence their work in the future.

5. Do your plans and technology it support “Productive Struggle”?
- We definitely think this technology promotes "Productive Struggle". As stated earlier, this technology will most likely be new to people so that in itself will create a productive struggle as trying to adjust and get use to it. This is the perfect project to make sure the teacher is utilizing scaffolding and making it slightly more challenging then what they already know.
