On a Roll with Dash
My second graders tried out The Digital Scoop's on a roll with Dash this week. We only had 3 iPads to use so we needed to work in much bigger groups that I really would have liked. I adapted Susan's lesson to include having students guess the code their classmates programmed. It kept students pretty engaged and definitely helped them to see the connection between the code and Dash's movements. Students really enjoyed this activity and are beginning to understand how the order of the algorithm effects the end result. Thanks Susan for a great lesson.
