Sphero has expanded Lightning Lab. Teachers can create an account for themselves and their students. Through this account, teachers can send assignments to students digitally. (I couldn´t find the app, maybe it´s not available in Iceland?)
https://www.sphero.com/education/professional-learning-and-resources/ is a website to introduce Sphero robots for teachers.
With various kind of lessons you can use Ollie in almost every subject.
In an educational environment, subject matter such as sight words, colors, vocabulary words, and math facts can be placed on the floor. Then, teachers can give students definitions, words, or numbers and students use a device to roll the robots to the specific word or number. This is a fun, simple way to review material.
In the Edu Sphero app uses Scratch blocks or you can write your own JavaScript text programs.
