Computer science (CS) standards like CSTA are being adopted by more and more states across the US. For teachers, it can be a challenge to teach new content before they feel prepared. That’s why we created our newest lesson series: Ozobot Blockly Video Lessons! Each lesson contains a full lesson plan, with steps for Direct Instruction and a student-facing instructional video, with flexibility to teach in person, remotely, or in hybrid models. All of the lessons are aligned with CSTA and ISTE standards, so you can ensure your students in grades 2-12 are gaining the 21st century skills they’ll need to create the future!
These lessons are designed for all educators and students; no coding or CS experience needed. They’re the perfect place to start if:
- your students are familiar with Ozobot’s Color Codes, but not Blockly
- you’re looking to build foundational CS skills
- you want an introduction to Ozobot basics, before moving on to content-integrated Ozobot lessons in math, ELA, science, and more
