LEARNING ACTIVITIES WITH LEGO ROBOTICS EV3

Abstract

From May 8th to 12th, 2017 the Taccle 3 training course “Teaching coding to children” (http://www.taccle3.eu/en/tallinn-training-course-guide/) was held in Tallin (Estonia), which will focus on introducing programming in primary schools and teaching children how to code.

The training has been designed by the Taccle 3 project partners.

The training course aimed to develop your own coding competences and also the competences to teach coding to children from 3 to 14 years.

There were five training days during which we learned together, in order to: • Describe the key principles of coding; • Describe the basics of computational thinking; • Use appropriate terminology; • Build on activities teachers and children already do; • Measure progression, differentiate lessons and assess what children have learned; • Link the curriculum to the Taccle3 website.

The final activity developed by these participants was related to use Lego Robotics EV3 in learning activities.
