Never before we had so many physical and virtual resources that we could
potentially use with our students, from Bee-Bot to Lego WeDo to Lego Mindstorm kits. There really
are now a rich variety of resources out there and if we cannot afford the physical resources, our rich
variety of virtual simulated resources to help young people get better and better at working with
machines and working with robots.
Bo and Yana is a great
example of that.
We have also got Cubelets and we have also got the SPRK Sphero as well.
Technological tools may promote inclusion; that means that talented students and students with learning difficulties can easily work together.
- The use of Educational Robotics encourages students in guided discovery and in problem solving.
- Students get used to work in teams to solve problems, find solutions and verify results.
- Robotics combine the reconstruction of the knowledge that the students get during the school activities, with creation, invention and conceptualisation, developing skills and competences along the way
- Robotics involves students with different cultures, linguistic heritage, age, learning styles, gender.
- It increases the learning motivation
- It helps to develop entrepreneurship
- The continued exchange of ideas among the members of the group enables the improvement of communicative skills
