Our PLNs are custom-tailored to best meet identified topics and PL models identified by our ATLE members.
Our team is currently contacting those who identified as being interested in leading or co-leading a PLN group. If you are interested in being part of our Robotics in Education PLN leadership team, please indicate that on the survey or reach out directly to ProLearn.
In previous years, the Robotics in Education PLN has met approximately once every two months to explore opportunities and share experiences supporting the use of robotics/robots in schools to support curricular outcomes.
Moving into its third year, this PLN has begun to provide a great snapshot of what robots school jurisdictions are purchasing these days to support elementary students as teachers begin to envision and then address the Computer Science outcomes in the new Alberta Science curriculum. Resource developed include:
- Robotics devices popular in Alberta school districts - compiled by ATLE Robotics PLN, June 2023
- Robotics Conversation - Resources
If you would like to join district leaders from urban, rural, and private schools alike to compare notes and make collaborative recommendations, this might be the PLN of choice for you!
