News and views about Roamer and educational robotics. Laquo; Roamer’s Full House. The Learning Tower of PISA. April 3, 2014. I have been listening to commentators respond to the latest PISA results in problem-solving. They either take the tack of being pleased to be second in Europe to Finland (which as everyone knows has a first class education system) or to be disappointed that we are all lagging behind Asia . But visiting them it did give me an insight into their education culture. We all know that ev...

News and views about Roamer and educational robotics. Laquo; Listening to teachers. I’m a smarty pants. October 22, 2012. A little later I watched a video of two Capuchin monkeys who had to work together to release six nuts from a jar. The monkey holding the jar then fairly divided the nuts giving 3 nuts to the other monkey. The video was showing how animals work together to solve a problem, but I was amazed at how the money could correctly divine 6 nuts by two. You have to log in to Comment.

Dave is Feeling Smug | Kate's Blog

http://katesblog.roamer-educational-robot.com/2012/12/04/dave-is-feeling-smug

News and views about Roamer and educational robotics. Laquo; A costly mistake? December 4, 2012. To use the current lexicon) miracles really do happen. I have mentioned several times Dave’s insistence that understanding Maths is more important than learning how to do sums. So whenever E wanted help with her homework (she just wanted a quick and easy solution) he made her think about it and work it out. You can imagine the battles that ensued and the joy of being in the same room as them.

Discovery at Every Turn. The Turtle was programmed from a computer. Roamer took a cut down version of LOGO and put it into the robot added a keypad. Freed from the computer the robot became a practical and inexpensive addition to the classroom. The new Roamer not only continues the Turtle tradition, it heralds the future of educational robotics. Yes, students learn through programming, but they can also interact with the robot with Human Computer and Human Robot Interactions (HCI and HRI).
