Dash Task Cards

A Talk by Amanda Graczyk (Instructional Technology Coach, Orland Park School District 135)

About this Talk

This presentation focus on the innovative potential of Wonder Workshop's Dash and Dot robots in fostering creativity, critical thinking, and computational skills in students. By introducing task cards (with Canva and other presentation tools) as a structured framework, we will demonstrate how to seamlessly integrate robotics and coding into various curricular areas, promoting a collaborative and engaging learning environment. Key Points: Task Card Integration: Explore how task cards can be effectively used to organize creativity, lessons, norms, and workflow, ensuring a cohesive and streamlined learning experience. Curriculum Alignment: Discuss strategies for seamlessly tying robotics and coding into existing curricular areas, such as language arts, social studies, math, etc. Engaging Activities: Showcase practical examples of engaging activities using Dash and Dot robots to spark student interest and promote hands-on learning. Assessment and Evaluation: Present methods for assessing student progress and evaluating the effectiveness of the robotics and coding curriculum. By attending this presentation, you will gain valuable insights into how to effectively leverage Dash and Dot robots to enhance student learning and foster a culture of innovation.

*This will be a hands-on presentation with time built directly within to create and share your very own Dash, Dot and robot task cards.

*Join Gabi Whitehead and myself for Dash, Dot and robot task card creations for your students to streamline curriculum with robotics and coding.
