Student Instructions

We learned something new. We reveiwed about that topic by coding 🐝 to show what we learned.

Teacher Notes (not visible to students)

This is a 2 part activity, but meant to do in one sitting. If that isn't possible, have students use a device to record and save their Bee-Bot video and selfie to upload to seesaw later. Part 1️⃣ ⭐Summary: After learning about or reviewing a topic, students will use Bee-Bot to code a path to show what they learned about. You can use pre-made cards, sticky notes, or whatever you like. If you have a Bee-Bot coding mat, use it. If not, you can always use butcher paper or large chart paper to make a mat with the places you want students to get to. Ideally, students would work in groups of 3-4. Students should be assigned at least 1 of 4 jobs: Driver, Programmer, Designer and Debugger. After coding and debugging (if necessary) open seesaw to complete the reflection. Part 2️⃣ ⭐Summary: After completing the coding portion, have students open seesaw and navigate to the reflection. Students will do several things: 1. Take a selfie (or upload a picture previously taken) with Bee-Bot. 2. Record (or upload) a video of Bee-Bot moving with their code. 3. Highlight their job(s). 4. Draw and label what they learned about the topic you studied prior to the coding activity.(there is an example of this part in the multimedia section of this activity). 5. Record themselves telling about the picture(s) they drew (great for those speaking skills!). 6. Think about how they felt about what they learned (the topic you studied). 7. Use the emojis to share how they felt. πŸ”‘ Key Vocabulary: language of the discipline/topic you studied, Bee-Bot commands πŸ”— Helpful Videos: How to Introduce Bee-Bots to Your Students...
