Teaching Robotics

As you may have read here in the past, last year I taught a class on LEGO Robotics at our local elementary.  Well things are starting to gear up again.  Considering all the difficulty I had last year (mostly in terms of learning HOW to teach students, more than anything else), I’ve been trying to read up on the subject.

Ran across this great article.  It mostly deals with integrating a robotics class into a typical curriculum.  My class is more of an after-hours project (2 meetings per week, each 2 hours), so not all of it applies, but interesting read none-the-less.
