Fairview Elementary School computer literacy teacher Lisa Lang
works with kindergartners using a B-Bot®, a programmable floor
robot. The students program the robot to determine its moves.
For example, the B-Bot can be programmed to move to a specific
letter on the floor map, where the students then provide a word
or words that begin with that letter’s sound. See story on page 10.
