Bee-Bot and Kinderlogo are both great learning tools for students in kindergarten through third grade. The kit has one Bee-Bot which is a hands-on robot shaped and colored like a bee. It can be used to reinforce counting, estimation, sequencing, and critical thinking skills. Students program it by using the direction arrows on its top. Programs can be as simple as moving forward for counting to maneuvering through simple to complex obstacle courses. The kit also comes with Kinderlogo, a software that offers a unique way for young learners to use the computer. Your students explore freely, moving a "turtle" around the screen using letter commands. They experience a mathematical environment first-hand, making discoveries that will stay with them. Kinderlogo converts these commands that younger learners find difficult to type into single keystrokes. They press F to make the turtle go forward, R to make it turn to the right, and L to make it turn to the left. They soon want to know how to start a New picture. Within minutes, students are exploring to see what the turtle can do and what happens when it reaches the edge of the screen. They explore patterns and create original designs. The possibilities are endless and support creativity and collaboration. Kit is intended for students in grades K-3. Kit also includes pen holder and pusher. | |
