Sphero

The versatile little Sphero robot appeals to all grade, age, and experience levels, and can be integrated into any curricular/content area. It fosters development of creative and critical thinking and communication competencies. Sphero, along with a variety of apps, can be used to teach mathematical concepts, scientific concepts, basic programming, writing skills, and choreographing to music. It could also be used independently by students for exploration and experimentation. The potential for extensions and activities are limitless, and as varied as the imaginations of teachers and their students.
