Lego Wedo Session 1

Today we started our Term 2 Innovation Studio Project. We will be working with Lego Robotics starting with Lego Wedo. There are some great Lego Wedo sites that can give you an introduction to what Lego Wedo is.

We will be blogging about our journey with Building with Lego Wedo 1.0 here. This is NOT OPTIONAL AND YOU WILL BE MARKED ON YOUR BLOGS, as a media literacy, science and writing mark. If you do not have access to a computer at home, you can use the school iPads to blog.
After each session I will be posting a question for you to respond to. You may have to research the answer. You will each contribute to the blog, however you can seek help from your group if you wish. You will have one week to respond to my question via Blogger.

Today's Questions
What were some rules we have to follow as we work through the Wedo activities? (Rules at the Robotics depot, at the station, with the parts such as the motor, the cables, USB connector and the Mac, sensors, etc.)

Research the names for the Lego parts we will be using. Post the names and diagrams on the blog.
