Getting Started in the Classroom

Ordering Materials Materials used here Other Materials 9797 Kit (NXT kits) LEGO Mindstorms Education NXT Software (NXT-G) Other Materials Extra Pieces http://www.legoeducation.com/store/default.aspx?CategoryID=162&by=9&c=1 NXT Education Resource Kit – 671 pieces http://www.legoeducation.com/store/detail.aspx?ID=1277

Organizing your LEGO collection Kits More accountability for students Everyone has same access to pieces Intensive Sorting Bins Easier to sort Students have access to all pieces Can run out of limited pieces Mini-Kits Essential/limited pieces, everything else in bins

Student Groups Ideal - 2 students : 1 kit : 1 computer Realistic Solutions Give students roles - programmer, builder, designer, spokesman - rotate roles Design Contracts - I build this part, you build this part Timers - 5 minutes on computer, then switch

A Note on Gender In general, same sex pairs work better Girls tend to plan before building Boys tend to grab pieces and start building without a plan Types of activities Variety - not all cars or animals Consider competition carefully
