    Bee Bots are robot devices that allow students to learn programming skills by entering directional commands that move the Bee Bot forward, back, left, and right. The Bee Bot blinks and beeps after each command and confirms completion with lights and sounds. It is resilient and can be used by students of all ages. Suggested uses include reinforcing teaching, introducing or reviewing content, providing active and fun learning. Programming and coding skills can be taught to students of all ages. The document provides information on alternatives to practicing Bee Bot programming without the actual device.

    BEE BOTS

    Presentation by Melissa Eggleston


    Education 5305 Dr Dawn K. Wilson

    What in the world are BEE BOTS?


    A robot device that gives students opportunities to learn how to
    program.
    Directional keys are used to enter up to 40 commands which send BeeBot forward, back, left, and right. Pressing the green GO button starts
    Bee-Bot on its way. Bee-Bot blinks and beeps at the conclusion of each
    command to allow children to follow Bee-Bot through the program they
    have entered and then confirms its completion with lights and sound.
    Children want to use Bee-Bot over and over and are inspired to enter
    ever more creative and complex command sequences.
    It is very resilient and can be used by students of all ages.
    Suggested Uses:
    Reinforces teaching through hands on participation
    - Great introduction or review of content
    - Fun and active learning for all levels
    - -Sequencing, estimation, problem-solving, and just having fun!

    Schemetics

    BEE BOTS are very difficult to learn how to


    program. You need a masters degree in
    TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION in order to master
    the skills needed to program them.

    TRUE or FALSE?

    Research says that when students open


    their minds to new learning while engaging
    in play, they are more likely to retain the
    information.

    Programming and coding are skills


    taught to :
    A. Prekindergarten and Kindergarten students
    B. First Fourth Grade students
    C. All age students
    D. High School students
    E. Middle school students

    Match the device to POTENTIAL USES that you can


    teach by using Bee Bots in your classroom:

    How can we practice this programming


    skill without the use of Bee Bots?
    Go to :
    http://www.simonhaughton.co.uk/2012/02/new-bee-botapp.html

    Take the tutorial for free. It will help solidify the proper
    coding skills needed to use the Bee Bots before you have a
    chance to purchase your own Bee Bot for your classroom.

    What is next, after Bee


    Bots?
    *Blue Bot
    Bee Bots has a brother named Blue Bot. He can do everything that Bee Bot can do
    AND he is Blue Tooth equipped. He can be programmed and operated through your
    tablet or handheld device.
    * Pro-Bot
    Pro-Bot is the latest in Logo technology. A turtle robot, cleverly disguised as a race
    car, Pro-Bot offers students an enticing, engaging, and hands-on experience with
    Logo programming as well as robotic controls. Pro-Bot commands are entered via a
    set of arrow and number keys mounted on the back. Plan a route for Pro-Bot and
    press the corresponding keypad controls. Press the GO button and send Pro-Bot on
    its way. Pro-Bot will follow the sequence of commands that were entered step by
    step.
    Pro-Bot operates in two modes. As "big brother" to Bee-Bot, Pro-Bot can be
    operated in Bee-Bot mode using only the arrow keys and GO button. Each
    movement and turn defaults to a set amount. In Logo mode, arrow keys can be
    combined with the number buttons with distances entered for movement and
    degrees entered for turns. Students transition easily from one mode to another as
    their skills develop.
