Distance Learning with Ozobot

Objectives

• Explore how to write code

Materials

• Offline: paper, black, red, blue, green markers

• Online: Computer with internet access to visit Ozoblockly

Key Questions

• Does the Ozobot do what you expected?
• Describe your thought process in creating this code.
• How would you extend your code if you had an Ozobot?
• How did you test your code?

What To Do

Have synchronous/live lessons:

•  Receive input from your students on what to add to the code. Show them how the Ozobot performs the code!

Offline (line following) ideas:

• Have students send Ozobot line-following path ideas and join them together for a large collaborative map. Record a video of your Ozobot moving around the map to share with the class.

Online (block coding) ideas:

• Have students create Ozobot code using Ozoblockly and then share it with you. Load the code on your bit and record a video to share with the student/class.
  • Students can click on “share” to receive a link or share code to give you
  • If you have a share code, you click on “open program” to enter the share code

       

• Have students calculate distances and angles that the Ozobot needs to travel to accomplish a goal and work with them to create the code.
