Description
Are you curious about bringing more technology into your classroom? This course is part of ESD 105’s Ed Tech "Getting Acquainted” series intended to help educators explore a variety of tools, bots, and devices that support Educational Technology, Computer Science, STEM, and STEAM topics.
Courses in this series are suitable for teachers of all grade levels, subject areas, and levels of teaching experience and introduce practical, approachable resources for use in classroom or school and family events.
This course will help participants become acquainted with micro:bit, a versatile microcontroller that offers hands-on learning by making coding accessible and fun! You’ll learn how the micro:bit can be programmed for various interactive projects, from simple tasks to using its built-in sensors. Review the project library by subjects, topics, features, and experience level to explore the available tutorials for learning how “MakeCode” is used to program the micro:bit. At the end of the course, you'll identify an idea you could incorporate into your classroom to foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and STEM skills.
(A micro:bit is not needed to complete this course.)
