Lego education

 

 In my class today we were working with Lego education. While working with Lego education. I was able to build my satellite. I went online and followed the sequence of instructions for my satellite. The satellite was built with Legos and needs 2AA batteries.  Once I finished building it, I was able to download the Lego app. In the app you need to connect your satellite to the bluetooth. This is my first experience with the Lego education, so I am still figuring out the codes, and what the codes do. My objective of this assignment is to get the kids to move the satellite at a certain speed and a certain way. For example, one goal would be getting the satellite to go around the "earth" 3 times clock wise. The next goal would be to get the satellite to go around "earth' 3 times clock wise, stop, and then repeat but counter clock wise. I will continue to play around with the Lego app to mess with codes and find out what else I can come up with before parents night at the school.Two ISTE standards I felt were incorporated were 5C. Vary instructional approach. Use a variety of instructional approaches to help students frame problems in ways that can be represented as computational steps or algorithms to be performed by a computer. There can be multiple ways to approach this we can use cards with goals, let the kids explore themselves, and work with a group. My other standard would be 4A. design activities with data in mind. Design CT activities where data can be obtained, analyzed and represented to support problem-solving and learning in other content areas. I can do this by having them write down the codes used to complete task. Doing this they can see what works and what does not work.
