Welcome!

Dale Street School was lucky enough to receive 50 Pro-Bots from a generous MCPE grant. We will be using this blogger forum to document our Pilot program integrating the Pro-Bots. It is our hope that our colleagues and the community can benefit from our trials and insights.

Special thank you to the Medfield Coalition for Public Education for making this possible!

Empowering Students to Demonstrate Learning

Empowering Students to Demonstrate Learning
Teaching adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators can be daunting and difficult for students to grasp conceptually. This week I challenged students to experiment with the ProBots to see if they could show me that they understand this concept- rather than complete problem after problem on paper. The students dove in, and I have been in awe for two days at what they continue to come up with.
Day 1... Collaboration & Critical Thinking (real-world and interest-based!)
Day 2... Creativity, Application, Perseverance, Communication, more Collaboration & Critical Thinking! 





We have more projects to add next week, so stay tuned!
