In the spring of 2007, I suggested to my principal that a robotics course
would probably be of interest to the students were I teach. Of course the
biggest problem with a hands on course is the funding. Shortly after that,
a fellow teacher gave me an application for a grant of $2000 from ING. I
filled it out and sent it in. In July I received notification that I had
been awarded a $2000 grant. The local paper ran a humbling article about
my winning the award which can be viewed here.
As a service to my students, below you will find the notes
from which I have been teaching. I hope that you will find this to be of
some benefit as you study for your EOC's! Please note that my lesson plans
are continuingly evolving - mistakes, when found, will be corrected.
The notes are in PDF format, which means that you will
need Adobe Acrobat to be able to read them. This is a free program
available from Adobe. Simple click on this icon
to be taken to the website - you will be asked for the language type (default is
English) and platform type - most of you will be running some form of Windows,
select the version you are using. One more selection on this page - Full
or Basic version of Acrobat. If you have a high speed connection to the
Internet and lots of disk space you can choose the Full version. If you
have a dial-up connection, or are running low on disk space, I would recommend
that you choose the Basic version. Click on the Continue button - on the
next page you only need to click on the download button to start the download.
