When I asked the students pro’s and con’s…
Word cloud of student padlet responses to ‘”Educational Pros and Cons of Robots?”
![Page 14: Elementary Robots – What’s Not to Love? Terry Smith Havens School – Piedmont USD terrysmith@steam-in.org @steamterry Entire presentation.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56649f515503460f94c7469c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What I was thinking….
Developing skills and strategies students will need in the future and which are part of the Computer Science standards• Develop Algorithmic and Computational
Thinking• Experience choosing technology wisely• Problem solving best uses of technology• Prototyping, testing, debugging• Troubleshooting – identifying exact problems• Finding workarounds• Fluency in different types of coding languages
and devices• Communicating directions to other users• Demonstrating new technology to other users
