5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent also in a homeschool "classroom"
By WeeBeaks on November 5, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I'm using this resource in a homeschool co-op environment with 5 boys ages 9-11. Each lesson in the book is designed to utilize about 5 hours of time. We don't have that much each week, so I split the lessons between weeks, and have the boys work on the student pages and programming at home in between sessions. It is taking us about 2 weeks per "week" of lessons. The boys are learning a lot, and the format of the lessons is easy for me as a parent teacher to utilize, even with limited EV3 background. There is a nice mix of theory and practice in the book to discuss, giving a great foundation. The math is manageable for the kids at the level I'm teaching with a little help here and there for those who hadn't encountered circumference or pi yet.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Book for the Classroom
By Craig Shelden on August 19, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
In 22 substantive chapters, Dr. Kee introduces programming exercises, providing early and easy successes for the students, before going deeper into programming concepts such as flowcharting and planning.

Along the way appropriate math is introduced, and enterprising teachers can further expand the concepts to include more physics concepts.

The book's focus is primarily on LEGO EV3 robotic programming, as you might expect, but Dr. Kee also introduces the EV3 Content Editor, an embedded presentation development environment that will enable teachers to develop student challenges and the students to document and explain their work.

Sensor thresholds are well explored and students should complete the course with a good understanding of the concepts.

Further, mechanical concepts such as gears and levers are explored in several exercises, giving the students hands-on experience.

The book's final two chapters provide ready-made worksheets for the Busy Teacher as well as building instructions for the core models and tools used in the lessons.

Classroom Activities for the Busy Teacher: EV3 by Dr. Damien Kee lives up to the title and continues his strong tradition of NXT and WeDo LEGO activity books.

As someone who's been working with kids and LEGO robots for the last 4 years, this is a valued addition to my robotics library.

3.0 out of 5 starsI was hoping for much more
By Mohammad Farouk Abdel Aziz on November 16, 2013

Adds very little to what you can get by following the Lego EV3 missions that come with the package. I was hoping for much more.

5.0 out of 5 starsGood bool to get you started in the classroom
By Robert Biamonte on August 19, 2013
Format: Paperback
A great book to get you started when you are introducing Lego robots into your classroom, It is a 10 week lesson plan that suggests activates and supplies worksheets. It also has build instructions for a very simple and functional robot that can be assembled in a short time. It also has instructions on attachments for the Mindstorm sensors.If this is your first time with the EV3 robot you will find this book full of good information such as the size of the new wheels and how far the they must rotate to cover a distance or make turns. Like the title says,"For the Busy Teacher". Dr. Kee is also very easy to reach by email if you need help or have questions.

5.0 out of 5 starsWonderful guide for junior high or advanced elementary school explorations of robotics
By Andrew A. Grgich on January 8, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I was thrilled with this book. I purchased it as a guide to teaching my own children. It would make a GREAT program for a teacher looking to explore the Lego Mindstorms EV3 educational kit. The way the material is presented is perfectly staggered from beginning techniques to more advanced material. Each lesson builds on the last in a great way.

For the price I was expecting something a bit more than this book. Its a nice basic robot, and the attachments are ok. Once I get a bit more time I'll update my review.
