Tips 

🧠 Getting Started

• Make sure Ozobots are fully charged before class (charging takes about 60 minutes).
  
  

• Calibrate each Ozobot on a white sheet of paper before use to ensure accurate color reading.
  
  

• Use clean, well-lit surfaces—glare, dust, or smudges can interfere with the sensors.

🎨 Using Color Codes (Screen-Free Mode)

• Use official Ozobot markers or wide-tip Crayola markers in black, red, blue, and green.
  
  

• Draw thick, consistent lines—thin or wobbly paths may confuse the robot.
  
  

• Space color code sequences properly (with black lines before and after) for accurate recognition.
  
  

• Keep code stickers or printed paths handy for fast setup and consistent performance.

💻 Using Ozobot Blockly (Screen-Based Mode)

• Use a compatible tablet or computer and the Ozobot Blockly website.
  
  

• Connect Ozobots via flashing screen or USB (depending on model) and test the program with simple commands first.
  
  

• Start students with lower skill levels (Level 1 or 2) before advancing to loops and conditionals.

👩‍🏫 Teaching Strategies

• Encourage students to plan their paths or code sequences on paper first before trying them out.
  
  

• Use collaborative roles: Coder, Navigator, Tester, and Debugger to build teamwork.
  
  

• Incorporate storytelling by having students design mazes or narratives for Ozobot to "act out."

🧰 Classroom Management Tips

• Use trays or taped-off areas to contain movement and avoid robots colliding or getting lost.
  
  

• Have a calibration station set up so students can independently fix issues.
  
  

• Label robots and storage containers to keep things organized and avoid confusion between groups.

🌟 Extension Ideas

• Combine art and coding by having students decorate mazes or create comic strips with Ozobot as the main character.
  
  

• Use Ozobot in core subjects like ELA (sequence a story), math (follow number patterns), or science (life cycle paths).
  
  

• Challenge students to “debug” a faulty path or code to encourage critical thinking and perseverance.
