  2. Welcome • Tech Check • Headsets and voice communication • Screen sharing • Markup • Tools • The Forum • Three Softwares • Preconceptions and Debriefing

  3. Tech Check • Voice communication • Introduce yourself (in order) • Checkmark yourself • Screen sharing • DEMO: Starting NXT-G • LAB: Show your NXT-G

  4. Tech Check • The Graffiti Wall • Leave your mark below with the markup tools

  5. Tools • The Forum • Logging in, and where to post for homework • Three Softwares • DEMO: Using the NVT to install batteries

  6. Big Ideas • What can you teach with a robot? • How do you teach with a robot? • What do I need to know about programming?

  7. What can you teach with a robot? • Living Document • What can you teach with a robot?

  8. Preconceptions & Pedagogy(& Andragogy) • Preconceptions • You have preconceptions • Students have preconceptions • New information has to be reconciled with existing beliefs • Something has to give! • Contradictory statements can coexist in the mind • …this is called CONFUSION • We want to get rid of this. • Effective instruction requires teachers to address preconceptions effectively

  9. Preconceptions • Do we expect you to believe this yet? • NO! • You can’t change preconceptions by simply making claims and justifications • Preconceptions are too closely linked to the rest of our world view • 2 ways to change belief: • Repeated experience • Trauma We prefer this one, but hey…

  10. Teaching with Robotics • Often, you will encounter a problem

  11. Teaching with Robotics • Solve the problem

  12. Teaching with Robotics • Problem solved…

  13. Teaching with Robotics • Problem not solved??

  20. Teaching with Robotics The Problem The ReallyReal Problem The Real Problem

  21. The Robotics Teacher • Level 1: Answer Level • “Explode” the iceberg (tip) • Short term solutions • Shallow understandings • “Solving the problem” often doesn’t solve the problem! • Be aware of, but do NOT stop or let your students stop here Makeit work Understandthe underlyingproblem and solution

  22. The Robotics Teacher • Level 2: Student Level • Realize the underlying nature and scope of the problem (whole iceberg) • Find a way to solve the real problem • Students need to achieve this level of understanding Makeit work Understandthe underlyingproblem and solution

  23. The Robotics Teacher • Level 3: Teacher Level • “Remove” the water • Expose the problem • Build an understanding • Lead the student toward a working solution to the “whole” problem • You must reach this level Makeit work Understandthe underlyingproblem and solution Build an understandingthat leads to a solution

  24. The Robotics Teacher • Instruction vs. Unstruction • What happens if you just solve the problem for the student? • Acting at Level 1 • Remove the tip of the iceberg • Don’t actually solve the problem • At a loss to explain why the same problem re-emerges soon after • Result: • Confuses students • Teaches dependence as a solution Makeit work Understandthe underlyingproblem and solution Build an understandingthat leads to a solution

  25. The Robotics Teacher • Instruction vs. Unstruction • Teachers must operate fluently at the highest level • This includes understanding a student’s level and perspective • Reaching this level requires you to: • Be aware of and eschew Level 1 understandings • Construct a Level 2 understanding • Expand into a Level 3 understanding Makeit work Understandthe underlyingproblem and solution Build an understandingthat leads to a solution

  26. Preconceptions • Do we expect you to believe this yet? • Have you had repeated experience ortrauma yet?
