The introducing Ozobots video is a good introduction to how the Ozobots operate. While it isn't necessary to view all the sections in the video, they are helpful. Emphasize "gently" pressing the power button on the Ozobot. I've had a few become inoperable because the students pressed too hard and broke the button. I have students practice turning them on and off before they actually operate them.
I laminated a class set of the color code guide so they will last longer.
4. Student Practice (Student-Facing Instructions)
These are step-by-step instructions delivered directly to the students as they work independently or in groups
Student Instructions

A. Lesson Closure (Optional)
Give tips for how to wrap up the lesson and assess student learning. (Want to add an attachment? Use Part C, below.)
Have students complete a daily exit ticket. I color code mine to make it easier for students to know which one to use each day.
B. Academic Standards (At least one standard required)
Choose a category from the dropdown on the left. In the blank on the right, begin typing the number of the standard.
