PK-6 tech specialist (still a librarian at heart) at an independent school in RI. I love reading YA, listening to podcasts and reading aloud to my daughters.
I’ve had a sweet connection with this kid over the many years. Every time I stop in around Rhode Island she makes an appearance at one of my events and I get to take a picture and see her in various stages of growing up. I think she’s my favorite kid person 🙏❤️
@GiftedTawk Hardest may be having them keep space while the spheros move around the room - will have to stress them driving the robot back if code goes awry instead of physically retrieving
@GiftedTawk I will. We have plexiglass dividers I can set up, on tables or the floor so students can face each other and talk from 3 feet away- that way they can collaborate on the code they are entering on their own devices and then test out the programs on their spheros.
@GiftedTawk I usually have students work in groups/pairs but this year will be individual. They may choose to work together on a final program where their robots interact but they will have to stay physically apart. I need to figure out how to have them only touch their own sphero!
@GiftedTawk I am starting spheros with my 6th grade class tomorrow. I am lucky to have a large room and small classes, plus 1-2 days for the robots and iPads to be sanitized/sit in between each class.
My 12yo had a homework assignment to create a timeline of the influential books in her life. I LOVED what she did (and the books she chose!). Inside the books she wrote a blurb about how the book impacted her. ❤️
