World Travellers 08

The stage 1 ESL group has been using the new bee-bot program and game mats to consolidate the work they have been doing on shapes,the alphabet, colours and positional language. In the attached photo you can see them using the bee-bot (electronic beetle) to move across the game mats. Each student needed to program a series of directions into the beetle in order for it to move into a location on the game mat. The students had a great time but realised how important it was to give clear instructions. The beetle went around in circles quite a few times but through a trial and error process they were able to work out the right directions. They had lots of fun with the different game mats
