TASK TWO: Spheros and the app on your phone - Three ways to control the spherical robot (Drive, Draw, Code/Program)
Open Sphero Edu on your phone
Locate the following icons at the bottom of the screen (phone at bottom, iPad on left)
Choose Drive/Touch Control (icon in purple square)
Find and pair your device with your Sphero. Make sure to choose the correct Sphero and not someone else's
Calibrate the Sphero by using Aim to aim the light on the Sphero toward you
Use the remote control on your phone/iPad to move the Sphero and change speed, etc.
Choose Activities (icon in blue square) to explore activities that your teacher assigns.
Choose Resources (icon in green square) to try out one of the class programs shared with your class to run on your Sphero (e.g. WCU pride, Disco Dance Party, Magic Eight Ball)
Choose Programs (icon in red square) to create your own programs starting with a simple draw program and moving up to your own block coding
STATION ROTATION
Spheros (15 minutes)
Go outside and learn to use your Sphero - Drive and Draw until the end of class. NOTE: For incliment weather, use the non-classroom sections of Killian (e.g., by our classroom and the UP offices) on the first or second floors
Merge Cube, Cubetto, and OSMO (15 minutes)
Explore these three innovative tools. NOTE: Merge may require partner work - one to hold the iPad and the other to manipulate the cube or you can use the stand that comes with the cube.
