- How can coding be effectively integrated into your teaching?
Coding can be effectively integrated into your teaching through many different lesson plans. My classmate and I created a sun with our Hummingbird Robot, and created it so it . would light up yellow like the sun and rotate. While teaching about the Solar System in Science you could have your students create different parts to the Solar System to help demonstrate their understanding of the Solar System. You can use coding to grab your students attention at the beginning of a lesson whether you are teaching about the Solar System, habitats, people in history, your options are endless. Not only is it fun for students to create a Robot they will remember what they learned in class about that specific lesson taught because they had to create something from the lesson.
2. How will this help your students?
Coding is a fun activity to bring into the classroom because it helps students become engaged in learning. You can have the coding equipment ready for students and when they come into your classroom they will want to know what they are going to do with all the tools/technology in front of them. You can then let the students discover the technology and see what they create/come up with. Coding helps students use their brain in a unique way and helps your students learn how to work and communicate with other students. Technology is a huge part of our world today and students need to be exposed to it and learn how to create/use different types of technology that will benefit them now, and in the future.
3. What are your goals with regard to this topic?
My goals are to learn more about coding and specifically about the hummingbird robot so I can better help my future students learn and use this type of technology. If my future school does not provide this technology for us teachers to use in the classroom I will talk with UVU about using theirs or find a grand that will help us get these tools into our classrooms.
