Workshop
Presented by
Brette Lockyer
ICT Literacy Teacher
All Saints’ College
Have you ever considered the use of robots within content-area learning in the Primary Classroom?
Will the use of robots result in student engagement – or just enthrallment?
This workshop will present a series of hands-on activities to explore the capabilities of the Ozobot, an inexpensive robot which is on the scene in schools worldwide.
Bring a critical mind to this workshop, as we will be learning and then rating each activity – in terms of STEM learning, and content-area learning.
Who is really doing the thinking: teacher or student?
Is the Ozobot more than just a toy in the primary classroom?
Intended Audience:
Those interested in STEM, General Primary, Junior Primary, Middle / Upper Primary
