Ozobot Classroom is companion software for Ozobots used in schools. A K-12 STEAM lesson portal, Classroom is built around our 2 Ways to Code–with and without screens–which provide a low floor and high ceiling for interdisciplinary learning.

The Ozobot Classroom platform makes it easy for teachers to:

• Browse and save free, standards-aligned lessons
• Filter lessons for grade level (K-12), subject (CS, math, ELA, science, SEL, and more), and student-facing video lessons
• Access Pacing Guides for planning and pacing up to 30 lessons per grade level
• Setup and manage devices

Ozobot Classroom Alpha Testing (2019-05-22) 

READ: The Secret is Out! Announcing Ozobot Classroom 

For Classroom, educators can use use a Chromebook, Apple Mac, or Windows 10 computer with the Chrome or Edge browser. See our full Compatibility Chart here for detailed system requirements. Devices should support Bluetooth 4.2 or later.

Ozobot Classroom accounts are free for any educator to create. To create your free account and get access to Ozobot lessons:

1. Use a compatible computer and browser (Chromebook, Apple Mac, Windows 10 with the Chrome or Edge browser; see full Compatibility Chart)
2. Go to: classroom.ozobot.com
3. Choose ‘Sign in with Google’ or create an account with email and password

Educators do not need to (and cannot) create student accounts for Ozobot Classroom. Classroom is compliant with FERPA and COPPA student and child privacy laws and does not collect student data.

Instead of creating accounts, it’s easy to share Ozobot lessons with students. All Ozobot video lessons have a ‘Share with Students’ option. Find it on the right side of the Lesson Details page.

Select ‘Share with Students’, and you’ll get a unique link.

Open the link to see the lesson exactly as students will see it.

• For in-person learning, screencast this view.
• For remote and hybrid learning, send the link to students via your LMS or preferred method.

Note: If you used the Classes section in a past iteration of Classroom, e.g. to import student rosters from Google Classroom, please note that this section is no longer available. Follow the steps above to generate lesson links and share them with students via Google Classroom or any LMS.

After signing up for Classroom, follow these steps to get started:

1. Complete Educator Training

Access Educator Training from your Dashboard or Help.

2. Explore Lessons

The Ozobot Lesson Library features almost 700 (and counting!) standards-aligned lessons spanning grade levels from K to 12 and subjects from CS to math, ELA, science, and SEL.

Access the Lesson Library from your Dashboard or Classroom’s left nav.

From there, we recommend using Ozobot Pacing Guides to find grade-level appropriate lessons.

With up to 30 lessons per grade level, Pacing Guides allow you to give your students a foundational grasp of computer science before moving to content-integrated lessons that bring math, ELA, and STEAM to life.

Note: Pacing Guides–specifically the Introduction to Color Codes and Introduction Blockly series featured within them–replace and enhance the lesson content formerly known as the Core Coding Curriculum.

Besides Pacing Guides, you can search and explore the Lesson Library on your own. Use the search bar and/or filter for grade level, subject, student-facing video lessons, and more.

3. Setup Devices

Once you’ve selected some lessons, prepare your Ozobot devices. We highly recommend that educators update, name, and label bots before distributing them to students. After that, keep an eye on your Dashboard for future updates.

Access Devices from Classroom’s left nav.

Choose your desired path for updating, renaming, and labeling single Evo bots and multiple bots. 

If you used the Classes section in a past iteration of Classroom, e.g. to import student rosters from Google Classroom, please note that this section is no longer available. Based on educator feedback, we’ve simplified Classroom so you can share assignments with students right from Lessons and do not have to manage creating or importing student accounts.

Pacing Guides make it easy to plan and pace Ozobot lessons. Access Pacing Guides from your Dashboard…

…or the Lesson Library:

With up to 30 lessons per grade level, Pacing Guides are designed to keep students and teachers engaged for an entire school year, but they’re also flexible and can be tailored to the needs of your school, class, or camp. Your actual lesson pacing can include a regular cadence of:

• one lesson per week for a year
• 2-3 lessons per week for a semester or unit

Each lesson runs 45-60 minutes. Featured lessons include Introduction to Color Codes and Introduction to Blockly lessons, which provide a solid, grade-level-differentiated CS foundation for your students with and without screens. Student-facing instructional videos make it easy to lead instruction, whether you’re a STEM Teacher or an English teacher with zero computer science or coding experience! These lessons are aligned with CSTA standards, meaning they can help you reach new goals if your state has adopted CSTA standards has state-specific CS standards that can be mapped to CSTA.

After each series of Introductory lessons–Color Codes and Blockly–you’ll find recommended content-integrated lessons that bring CS to math, ELA, and STEAM. These lessons are a great way to increase engagement in core subjects, especially if you’re looking to address unfinished learning in these areas.

Note: Pacing Guides–specifically the Introduction to Color Codes and Introduction Blockly series featured within them–replace and enhance the lesson content formerly known as the Core Coding Curriculum.

Access all lessons you’ve saved lessons in Saved Lessons, under Lessons in the left nav.

Note: My Lessons stores only the lessons you’ve created yourself.

Yes! Our most popular lessons come from Ozobot educators. To create your own lessons, go to Create a Lesson on your Dashboard. 

From there, follow our helpful lesson template, or submit a lesson as-is. Follow our lesson writing guidelines to ensure students and other educators get the most value from your lesson. 

If you’re including a video with your lesson, please be aware of the following considerations for file type and size:

• File types: ‘mp4’, ‘mov’, ‘avi’, ‘mpg’, ‘webm’
• Size limit: 512MB
• Uploaded from local storage or Google Drive

Note: Once you click “submit”, your lesson will be sent to the Ozobot team to review, but your lesson will be immediately available for your use from lessons “In Review” in My Lessons. Other educators will be able to access your lesson once it has been reviewed and added to the Lesson Library.  

You won’t be able to connect to your bot(s) since Bit is not Bluetooth-enabled. But we still recommend creating an Ozobot Classroom account to access educator training and the Lesson Library, you just won’t be able to access full features.
