PD 377 – Intro to MicroBit & Meet Finch
October 3, 2024 | 5:00 pm - 5:30 pm
As many educators are introducing technology tools in their classrooms, it is important for them to link to content learning objectives. This session will provide a space to explore the use of MicroBit and Finch robots in their classroom. The participants will be introduced to MicroBit, an educational technology tool created by Microsoft that has been used in the classroom to improve student engagement in class activities. MicroBit uses different coding platforms and processes, depending on the experience level of the user, which is highly applicable to multi-subject classrooms. The session facilitators will model how to program the MicroBits and introduce the Finch robotics aligned with the MicroBits programming system. At the end of the session, the facilitators will ask participants to use their own classroom learning objectives to brainstorm how MicroBit and Finch robots can be incorporated into instructional activities.
