Robots aid learning process
Barrington Elementary third-grader Eliza Paxton uses an app on her iPad to make a robot play music on a xylophone. Students in Katie Benton’s class have been using the robots to learn tasks such as coding, collaboration and problem-solving through use of their school-issued computer tablets and Dash and Dot robots, which were funded through a grant from the Upper Arlington Education Foundation and the Barrington Parent Teacher Organization.
