A little bit about our Ozobot Inquiry:

Inquiry Question:

  • How can we incorporate and implement ozobots into our classrooms to help facilitate learning? 

What are the pros, cons, and risks?

  • Learning curve 
  • Training
  • Need to understand how to use it as a teacher
  • Cost 
  • Need to program the Ozobots 
  • Teaches coding 
  • Hands-on learning 
  • Fun 
  • Utilize into classroom routines and cross-curricular 
  • Engages different types of learners 
  • Students can break the Ozobots 
  • Small spaces can be crowded 
  • Could be used inappropriately 

What is the relationship of your topic to teaching and learning?

  • Can be used cross-curricularly 
  • New skill for students 
  • Can motivate students to be creative and explore new technology 
  • Can be a great jumping off point for students who wish to go into computer science (STEM, coding, etc.)
  • Learn about robotics, math, and programming
