Lego Robotics: STEM Sport of the Mind
I found this article in the ISTE: Learning and Leading with Technology August edition. It is a great article supporting our class, Interactive Computing Strategies. "It's engaging and hands on, aligns with the NETS, and teaches students how to use digital age skills in the real world."

Creativity and Problem Solving
In the past I have written about the book "Don't Bother Me Mom - I'm Learning" by Marc Prensky which discusses how video games can be very beneficial for our kids. (within reason of course). Today I want to share three sites/programs I know most kids would love to explore! They provide an opportunity for students to play games and ultimately create their own! Creativity and problem-solving at its best! I encourage all of you to take a look at them:

Following is a presentation highlighting each groups plans for their robots. They are discussing their plan, strategy, challenges they have encountered and possibly a demonstration of what their robot is doing so far. Enjoy!
