Circumstances delayed this post.... the night I was planning to write this post, I lost one of my pet bunnies, Coco...
| Prior to Design Lab, I had put the 9V battery into all 5 of our MeeperBots. The screw was a little tricky so hopefully our rechargeable 9V batteries will have a long enough life that I don't need to do this frequently. I put out the MeeperBots next to the legos and watched as our students started to check them out. Each student downloaded the MeeperBot app onto their iPad. Honestly I did nothing except show them how they could tell if they were connected. I need to rename the MeeperBots because students wanted to connect to specific colors. | |
The power behind the MeeperBots tended to blow the lego construction off of the top of them but that didn't bother any of our students. I appreciated that our young and old students were drawn to them as well as it was gender neutral. I can't wait to see how more students respond as all 5 were quickly taken and used.
