Ms. Cain & Ms. Trinh saw the Ozobots in action and were immediately intrigued and asking for a way to use them in 7th grade math. When my colleague Sharon Eckert shared an activity to practice measurements for surface area and volume, I was excited to pass the activity to along to them. Ms. Cain & Ms. Trinh made a few edits appropriate for the ability levels of their students and we were ready to go. Then, this happened...
The internet was down district-wide. We only needed internet to access the problems students would be working out, and of course, none of us printed even one paper copy. But, we had a teacher answer key, with the problems. We got right to work, cutting and pasting to make a class set of the problems.
Needless to say, the lesson was a success. Even when the internet was back, we still opted to use our paper copies.
Ms. Cain & Ms. Trinh were calm under pressure. They learned how to use the Ozobots and were leading their classes in the activity with minimal help from me. They made adjustments throughout the day, as any good teacher does. These two are rockstars and I'm so glad to have the opportunity to work with them.
