Direct Instruction

Use the instructional video to guide your students through the activity. Alternatively, continue with the direct

instructions below. Have students follow along, step by step, or you can model creating the entire program and

then release students to construct the code on their own.

Before you dive in, dene the vocabulary terms: Code and Program Code: Instructions written in a programming

language Program: A complete set of instructions written in code that the computer executes to achieve a

particular objective Explain that pieces of code are combined to create programs. Tell students they will use

OzoBlockly to build block-based programs. OzoBlockly is a block-based editor. This editor allows students to

create programs for Ozobot using blocks that can be selected, dragged, dropped, and connected together like

puzzle pieces. Programs written with OzoBlockly can be sent to Ozobot Evo via Bluetooth. This means

OzoBlockly sends the program wirelessly to Ozobot, and Ozobot can run the program.

Point out that on the left side of the screen, there is a panel. This panel is where the blocks for programming are

found. OzoBlockly has 5 levels. Ask students what they notice about the dierence between the levels. Explain

that Level 1 is designed for beginners and Level 5 is designed for advanced users. As you go up in levels, there

are more block categories that contain more advanced blocks. Today, students will be working with Level 2.

Explore OzoBlockly with your students by selecting Level 2 and explain that you can see ve dierent block

categories. The categories are Movement, Light Eects, Timing, Loops, and Sounds. Click on the dierent block

categories. Point out how there are dierent types of blocks within each category. Ask students, "What do you

think the blocks in the sound category will tell your bot to do?" Then, explain that when programming with these

blocks, Ozobot will make dierent sounds. Ask students to think about the other categories. Explain that

movement will allow you to program your bot to move, light eects will allow you to program Ozobot's LED lights,

timing will allow you to control the time between blocks, and loops will allow you to program repeating sequences.

Point out the right side of the panel to nd the workspace. Explain that the workspace has a larger area and is

where you will build your program. Model how to click on Light Eects, select Rainbow, and drag the rainbow

block into your workspace.

Review the four icons found in the workspace. The four icons are a trash can, a pair of blocks, a left arrow, and a

right arrow. Show students how to use them. Select the rainbow block. Explain to students, you'll know you've

selected it when you see the block outlined in white. After selecting the block, click on the duplicate icon. The

duplicate icon has a plus symbol on it. Show students that the block duplicates, or makes a copy when the icon is

clicked. Then, click on the undo button, and explain that it undoes your last action, and in this case, it undoes

your duplication of the rainbow block. Then, click on the re-do button, and explain that in this case, it brings the

block back.

Explain to students: there are four ways to delete blocks. The rst way is to drag and drop a block or group of

blocks back into the side panel area. The second way is to drag and drop blocks over the trash icon. The third

way is to right-click and select "delete." The nal way is used to completely delete everything. If you'd like to

completely delete everything, click on the trash and select, "Yes" to delete all blocks.

Explain to students: Now that you know how to navigate around OzoBlockly, you are ready to construct a

program. Explain that they will start with a simple program that gets Ozobot to move. Model how to click on the

"Movement" category and explain that you can see the dierent blocks available in Level 2 that program Ozobot's

movements. You will program your bot to move forward. Model how to select the rst block in the list and drag it

into your workspace. Point out the three elds with drop-down menus. Explain that in Level 2, the blocks utilize

drop-down menus for them to adjust the code. In more advanced levels, there are elds they can type in. Model

how to practice with the dropdowns. Explain that to see the bot move, you will adjust the number of steps to 10.

The block now reads, "Move Forward 10 Steps Speed Medium."

Explain that now that you have adjusted your code, you are able to run it. Show students how to be sure the bot is

connected by looking at the bot icon. If the bot icon is teal you are connected. If it is red, click on the icon to pair

your bot. Click on "Run Program". Ask students, "Did your bot do what it is programmed it to do?"

Explain to students that once they have successfully programmed their bot to move, they get to add more to their

program. Explain that they can choose blocks from the other categories and connect them to the block in the

workspace. Optionally, you can model how to add blocks from the Light Eects, Timing, Loops, and Sound

Categories and adjust some of the pull down menus. Explain that if you use a loop block, explore what happens

when you put lines of code in the loop and that students will learn more about loops in a later lesson.

Great work constructing your rst program with OzoBlockly! Now, you should know how to:

• Navigate through OzoBlockly's Levels

• Connect and program loops, light eect, sound, and timing blocks

• Delete unneeded blocks

• Run your program on your Ozobot using Bluetooth

If you're looking for more, you can continue to explore the dierent levels of OzoBlockly and build dierent

programs.

Let's explore. You've selected Level 2 and can see ve dierent block categories. The categories

are Movement, Light Eects, Timing, Loops, and Sounds. Click on the dierent block categories.

Notice how there are dierent types of blocks within each category. When programming with the

sound blocks Ozobot will make dierent sounds. The movement will allow you to program your bot

to move, light eects will allow you to program Ozobot's LED lights, timing will allow you to control

the time between blocks, and loops will allow you to program repeating sequences. Now, look at

the right side of the panel to nd the workspace. The workspace has a larger area and is where

you will build your program. Click on Light Eects, select Rainbow, and drag the rainbow block

into your workspace. Your turn to practice using your workspace. Can you drag and drop the

Side Bar and Workspace: youtu.be/f3ZyMYHXnaA

Before you construct your program, let's review the four icons found in your workspace. The four

icons are a trash can, a pair of blocks, a left arrow, and a right arrow. Select the rainbow block.

You'll know you've selected it when you see the block outlined in white. After selecting the block,

click on the duplicate icon. The duplicate icon has a plus symbol on it. The block duplicates or

makes a copy. Now, click on the undo button, which is the arrow turning to the left, or

counterclockwise. The block undoes your last action, and in this case, it undoes your duplication of

the rainbow block. Now, click on the re-do button, or the button turning right, or clockwise. In this

case, it brings the block back. Can you practice using the duplicate, undo and redo icons?

Copy, Undo, and Redo Icons: youtu.be/l9rY4TakY5M

There are four ways to delete blocks. The rst way is to drag and drop a block or group of blocks

back into the side panel area. The second way is to drag and drop blocks over the trash icon. The

third way is to right-click and select "delete." The nal way is used to completely delete everything.

If you'd like to completely delete everything, click on the trash and select, "Yes" to delete all blocks.

Choose one of these ways to delete all of the blocks in your workspace.

Now that you know how to navigate around OzoBlockly, you are ready to construct a program.

Let's start with a simple program that gets Ozobot to move! Click on the "Movement" category.

Here you can see the dierent blocks available in Level 2 that program Ozobot's movements. You

will program your bot to move forward. Select the rst block in the list and drag it into your

workspace. Notice, there are three elds with drop-down menus. In Level 2, the blocks utilize

drop-down menus for you to adjust the code. In more advanced levels, there are elds you can

type in. Can you nd the "move forward distance 1 step speed medium" block and drag it into your

workspace? Then, adjust the number of steps to 10

Constructing and Adjusting Your Program: youtu.be/sOBVDRryjtg

Now that you have adjusted your code, you are able to run it. Be sure your bot is connected by

looking at the bot icon. If the bot icon is teal you are connected. If it is red, click on the icon to pair

your bot. Did your bot do what you programmed it to do?
