You get a robot and you get a robot (including Ozobot Evo)

Media Squad enjoyed their monthly visit with Ms. Deidre and robot friends from the Central Arkansas Library System-Fletcher.  The students had the pleasure of working with 9 robots (Sphero and Ollie) including our newest visitor, the Ozobot Evo.  Stay Turned for student comments highlighting features and how these robots could be used for learning activities in the classroom, etc.

*Find this handout and other helpful links at www.fhsalmc.blogspot.com (You can find links to Pebble Go Next and Myon books as great non-fiction sources; see the Elementary Favorites Tab).

*One of the parts of your science fair report is a bibliography (usually the last page of a report).

*Students may use MLA Format (sample above but know that winning projects moving to district/regional/state competitions may require APA).

*There are a number of web resources that can assist in the format of citations including but not limited to: Google Docs (Tools > Explore > search for or cut and paste website > Use Cite as Footnote > Cut citation > Paste citation in bibliography (remove footnote #) and Easy Bib (easybib.com).

*On the bibliography, sources should be listed in alphabetical order by the first word in the citation.

*For the full report, the media specialist suggests using the Tab key instead of the space bar for multiple spaces (example: table of contents spacing to pg#), inserting page breaks to keep sections on the correct page, and insert page numbers (see steps by using help and typing in underlined words on Google Docs or Microsoft Word).
