Communication with Cybot


Cybot's House

We realized that Cybot didn't have a house like Blue Bot, therefore we created our own in which Cybot can navigate around with he help of a colorful grid decided by the whole team.

This activity was mainly focused on exploring the creativity while having precise measurements in mind that reinforce the mathematical thinking of the kids. Four squares is 5x Forward, this means that it takes Cybot 5 steps forward to complete a column of four squares.

 
Communication with Cybot

Since the main goal is for all of us to become creators and we already understand that the robots are our friends that help us learn, we are starting to become more independent in using the tablet to give Cybot's commands.

We explore the different possibilities we have when using Cybot. All of us created a long sequence of commands to see how Cybot works. We also got to learn the basics of how to find and recognize the app in the tablets menu.

Create Your Own Command Cards

Image
In our class we work with command cards to practice our coding skills offline, and now is time to create our own! Before we start we should practice the main vocabulary we use: - Forward - Right - Left - Stop Activity 1. Let's practice the LEFT and RIGHT by dancing: Watch the video of the Hokey Pokey! Dance and sing along: 2. Now that you're all pumped up let's start creating! What do we need? - Something to draw on, blank sheets or cardboard paper - Pencil, markers, colors, crayons Step 1 To make better use of the paper we can cut them in 4 smaller rectangles shapes. A total of 10 rectangles. Step 2 Draw on each rectangles a big ARROW, you can decorate the arrows however you want. In total 8 arrows: - Forward 3x - Right 3x - Left 3x Step 3 Draw one big HAND on one of the rectangles. This hand will be used as the command:  STOP 3. Let's play find the treasure! 2 Players For this game we'll use ...

Story telling with Scrath Jr

Image
In storytelling we find that the sequence of a story is similar to the sequences we can find in different coding apps. Why? Because coding is basically the process of breaking a big problem in smaller parts to get to the objectives of our code. 1. Watch the following story: https://youtu.be/17JQ5x_PAjo 2. Can you help us organize the story? A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. J. K. Order of the story is: 1= A 2=? 3=? 4=? 5=? 6=? 7=? 8=? 9=? 10=? 2. . Let's practice our sequence and storytelling skills by playing the following game: - Put the number in the correct order of each story, which part is 1? and 2? 3? 4?  https://www.turtlediary.com/game/picture-sequencing-kindergarten.html 3. Do you remember Scratchy's Lost Ball story? Watch the video once again: https://vimeo.com/403160619 4 . Can you edit the beginning of the story with the help of Scratch Jr? Things to keep i...
