Session description

In this session, participants will learn about the benefits of coding in the classroom, specifically to what coding does to the brain and how it can benefit students in the primary or elementary classroom. Examples of how to use coding in the classroom with Ozobots and Dash will be given along with a quick demonstration of each robot. Participants will also walk away with ideas on how to integrate coding into standards based lessons.

Additional Information

I will have at least one Ozobot and Dash to model within the presentation, if allowed.
