Lego Mindstorms

The greatest challenge within student motivation is the disconnect between teacher and student. Teachers must get on a student’s level and understand what goes on in their world. What do they like to do? What do they play with? These things are very different from 20+ years ago. Kids do not play with LEGOs as much as they use to, Minecraft is a new favorite where they can do the same thing online but bigger and better. A great example of understanding students would be to allow students to use Minecraft to create a project for class. When students do presentations on a paper, teachers like for them to have something to show the class. Minecraft can be that for a student. Times have really changed and what motivates students has been drastically altered. There has also been a great emphasis on connecting what is going on in the classroom with what students can relate to in their daily life. Students can easily partake in a gardening type activity to understand sustainability. Doing these types of cooperative groups motivates students…

The Lego Star Wars Millenium Falcon, or the Lego Mindstorms NXT? I have never been good at making decisions, even when it comes to toys. There are always so many different options, each of them so amazingly amusing and unique, that I cannot stand getting them all. Because of this, I strongly believe that limiting someone like me, who is curious and adventurous, to be able to try only one thing is wrong. Struggling to pick a toy may seem frivolous, but when it comes to the question of what I want…

The Lego Company has made an amazing toy for all ages. The product that they made is called Lego Bricks. The Lego company started out in Billund Denmark. They didn’t actually make Lego Brick at first. They used to make wooden toys. In fact, it wasn’t even called “Lego.” It was called Ole Kirk Christiansen’s Workshop. Ole Kirk Christiansen was a carpenter who started a toy business in 1932. They eventually found a new name for the company called Lego coming from the Danish word, leg godt meaning…

At first glance, the two toy construction sets, LEGO and Mega Bloks may appear to be simiar; but to those of us who love to build with these sets, they have many more differences than similarities. Some people think LEGO is better than Mega Bloks. Some people would choose Mega Bloks over LEGO. Other people don’t know (or care), but in my opinion, LEGO is better than Mega Bloks in every way LEGO pieces and Mega Bloks pieces might look the same, but they are different in many ways. LEGO, who’s…

Lego land 2009 It was July 9th 2009 my 8th birthday, and at the time my life was consumed by my obsession with Lego sets, even though I was known to rage when I couldn’t figure out a difficult part. We were visiting family in California and it just so happened that it was my birthday. And my parents surprised me with a day in Lego land. As we drive up to Lego Land, about every 500 feet there is a letter made out of Legos, W-E-L-C-O-M-E, it spells. After we got our ticket to park we found…

But I bet you kids get more excited about going to Toys-R-Us then they do Wal-Mart. Legos have been around forever and pretty much everyone has played with (or stepped on) legos at some point in their life. According to LEGO there are about 86 Lego bricks for every single person on the planet, which means we will probably disappear before Legos ever do (“Lego Education”). Primary competitors of the LEGO Company would be all of the companies that have their own “brand” of interconnecting…

Just stop and think. A half-billion dollar sect of the toy industry is controlled by the underdeveloped minds of a generation too young to remember the first episodes of Full House. Fidget spinners have dominated the toy market, quickly becoming the hottest trend, bringing pandemonium to schools, homes, and social media accounts across America. They were first invented in 1993, by Catherine Hettinger, who designed them for people with ADHD, autism, and anxiety as a way to manage symptoms…
