Using Tello EDU quadrocopters to study the theme "Linear algorithms" of a school informatics course

Abstract

The article discusses the possibilities of using Tello EDU quadrocopters when studying the section "Algorithms and programming" of a school informatics course. Quadrocopters can be used in lessons on the following themes: "Algorithms and executors. A quadrocopter is an executor of algorithms", "Linear algorithms. Programming an autonomous flight of a quadrocopter in the DroneBlocks environment", "Branching algorithms. Programming an autonomous flight of a quadrocopter in the DroneBlocks environment", "Cyclic algorithms. Programming an autonomous flight of a quadrocopter in the DroneBlocks environment". The lesson on the theme "Linear algorithms. Programming an autonomous flight of a quadrocopter in the DroneBlocks environment" is described. The tasks are suggested for each stage of the lesson. At the stage of updating knowledge, students are offered an interactive poster for organizing self-control. The lesson uses such methodological techniques as "Epigraph", "Skipping words", for the reflection of educational activities the technique "Ladder of success" is used.
