This is a fantastic article that describes the benefit of incorporating coding and robotics in our classrooms. jason_boyer2 https://padlet.com/jason_boyer2/v4530rw3srm2cg18/wish/514565249 2020-04-18 17:33:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jason_boyer2/v4530rw3srm2cg18/wish/514565249 Coding promotes higher level thinking skills, collaboration, persistence, communication and computational thinking. jason_boyer2 https://padlet.com/jason_boyer2/v4530rw3srm2cg18/wish/514566423 2020-04-18 17:34:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jason_boyer2/v4530rw3srm2cg18/wish/514566423 We would love to add Quadcopter Mini Drones to our collection of Robots. We could use the Drones 101 curriculum from Tynker to learn how to program the drones to fly around obstacles. It would be a great coding opportunity for the students. jason_boyer2 https://padlet.com/jason_boyer2/v4530rw3srm2cg18/wish/514566811 2020-04-18 17:34:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jason_boyer2/v4530rw3srm2cg18/wish/514566811 In Social Studies class, drones can be used for mapping skills and in Math class, drones can be used to engage the students and to provide great opportunities to make classes more interactive and relevant for the student. Here is a great articles about the benefits of using drones in the classroom. jason_boyer2 https://padlet.com/jason_boyer2/v4530rw3srm2cg18/wish/514571094 2020-04-18 17:39:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jason_boyer2/v4530rw3srm2cg18/wish/514571094 Quote of the day jason_boyer2 https://padlet.com/jason_boyer2/v4530rw3srm2cg18/wish/514668375 2020-04-18 19:37:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jason_boyer2/v4530rw3srm2cg18/wish/514668375 jason_boyer2 https://padlet.com/jason_boyer2/v4530rw3srm2cg18/wish/530003603 Safety First: The students would be taught how to safely fly the mini drones. The teacher would review the laws and rules with the students ensuring to teach them the importance of flying the drones in the right environment.The drones would be kept locked in the Makerspace.]]> 2020-04-25 13:29:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jason_boyer2/v4530rw3srm2cg18/wish/530003603
