I’ve been sharing on social media professionally for eight years now, and I have to admit, it can be kinda tricky. As educators, I passionately believe we should use social media to push the positive, celebrate student successes, share resources with our colleagues, and connect with parents and the community.

Teachers do not need computer science degrees to engage, enhance and extend student coding experiences due to the abundance of easily accessible creative coding and robotics programs. Dash and Dot are programmable robots that target students in grades K-8 with progression apps that are customizable for optimal learning in the classroom. Robotics fosters critical thinking skills at an early age, encourages creativity, and turns students into makers rather than consumers.

This year, our library is fortunate to have a robotics loan from Birdbrain Technologies. We have 12 Finch robots that we are using throughout the year for coding experiences for our students. Currently, a group of 2nd-5th graders are meeting every Friday for one hour to learn to code these robots and create projects with them. Donna created a Google doc of resources for the session and started advertising our session on social media.

Coding, robotics, and experimentation–integral pieces of STEM–give students the best start possible to the rest of their lives. They even offer interesting extras like “How to choose a 3D printer”, “Connecting your Makerspace to your curriculum”, and “How to get funding for a robotics program” Curricula are aligned with NGSS, TEKS, and other states and many of the kits are officially licensed by Science Olympiad.

Britt: In my classes, I’m using strictly a Blackboard LMS and I’m using Twitter, which I felt was a less onerous use of social media for classroom conversations. You have to prove to me that it’s worth using Facebook, or any social media, for that matter. Finally, E is for Engage, because I do not think that banning and deleting Facebook or staying off of social media is the answer. You and I have both been in social media now for a decade.

We can’t have wifi or hot spots in the pit area OR the arena because it will interfere with the robots and the game. In judging we have the whole team, our engineering notebook, our robot, and anything extra that we think we might need to show to judges. Now that judging is over, the robot has to go to judging. Only 4 or 5 of the team members go to robot inspections though. Hey guys! So today has been crazy and it is currently only 11:11 (make a wish!)

At the Edwards Jones Dome we will have opening ceremonies, a college/scholarship row, and we will be able to see the FRC (First Robotics Competition) and the FLL (First Lego League)… We will also be able to see the companies who helped sponsor this event and get a lot of one on one information from them. The robot is still working great as well as the team members. As the day continued, they started matches.

Scan social media on any given day and you’ll find end users pridefully holding the latest “cool” print in the palm of their hand, hashtagging some synonyms of “innovation.” ” Many times, the social sharer touts their own innovative ideas, how the tool is a “game changer,” or how their printer is “revolutionizing” learning.

We typically hear that while most learners own smartphones, they are “only” using them for things like social media and text messaging. The sequence of steps to upload an image to social media—something we acknowledge adult learners are doing—are nearly identical to those used to upload a resume to a job posting site.

The robot also has certain limitations, in parameters such as size, materials, and shape. FIRST is much more than just building a robot and competing in matches.
