Kathy D: Coderz and Carnegie Mellon Video Trainer
Carnegie Mellon Video Trainer is a useful tool if you’re a beginning robotics teacher. Available for Lego EV3 and Vex robots ($499), it provides videos, lesson plans, rubrics, questions and a teacher guide.
Coderz is a cloud-based alternative to physical robots if your district K-doesn’t have the money for robot kits. It allows you to have a trial, but does have a cost associated with it, but gives you a complete curriculum with lessons, tutorials and quizzes. Chris Salisbury
