On this video, Innokas Network coordinator Kati Sormunen explains the Multidisciplinary Learning Modules concept in the latest Finnish National Core Curriculum and provides guidance on how you can make use of innovation process when implementing these modules.
Watch the first part of the Programming Basic video series and get excited about teaching programming and robotics!
The video provides an introduction on programing and robotics for both students and teachers.
Make sure you also watch the second and third part of the series: Tools for Teaching Programming (part 1) and Tools for Teaching Programming (part 2).
In the second part of the Basics of Programming video series you get to know the tools, software and hardware used in learning and teaching programming and robotics. The video provides a good introduction to programming and robotics kit for students, teachers and parents.
Before watching this video its a good idea to watch the first video in the series, What is Programming?
The “My First Robots” book guides you into the world of Lego EV3 robots and graphical programming through hands-on activity.
The exercises in the book start with the basics of building and programming EV3 robots and proceed towards more advanced challenges. You can use the material for your EV3 robot self-study or make it a part of your robotics learning module.
