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.
