As part of our introduction we were shown that there is also a Bee-Bot app available for iPads. We were allowed to explore the app and the objective of the game was to direct the the Bee-Bot to the flower using the arrows and “Go” button located at the bottom right of the screen. It also became clear that in order to generate new directions the child would need to remember to press the clear button, which is the “X” button, so the Bee-Bot would forget the previous step. I feel this is a great way to introduce children in early and first level to sequences and directions as the child can create a sequence with as many actions as they wish. As well as this they will have to have an understanding of left and right turns and grasp directional language such as forward, backward, left, and right.
