I found this Prezi created by Renata Copley which is a fabulous way for a teacher who is beginning to teach robotics to introduce the question “What is a Robot?” It steps you through all of the parts of the lesson, and has informative and entertaining examples of different types of robots, used in a variety of settings. I’ve developed a note sheet to go along with the Prezi. The kids really liked it, and they enjoyed the discussions that ensued.
