Tracks: Future of EdTech Early Learning

Take a group of children under the age of 8, add a robot (or two or three), and “Bam!” — instant powerful learning! Right? Maybe, but intentional instructional choices and purposeful implementation and integration can lead to deeper learning, which is transferable to other areas of thinking and learning. This session will explore developmental considerations in the use of robots with young learners, the influence that intentional implementation of robots can have on your class, and concrete examples to illustrate these concepts.
