Students used them to extend their learning. <br /><br /> With MaKey MaKey, students addressed interesting design challenges and created music.<br /><br /> With Sphero, they practiced their programming skills on the various free apps that you can get from the App Store. <br /><br /> Both Sphero and MaKey MaKey allowed for students to demonstrate problem solving and leadership skills.<br /><br /> I'm still figuring out ways to creatively incorporate them into curricular expectations.<br /><br /> I do have these fun little Sifteo tiles that students programmed for little quizzes - matching, ordering, multiple choice.

How do you plan on using them in the classroom? How do you plan on connecting them to curriculum expectations? Both intrigue me, but I'm trying to figure out the best way to possibly use them. I'd love to hear your ideas! Thanks!<br /><br />AvivaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
