LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 Classroom Management Tips for Starting Your First Lesson with Success Prior to the first lesson using LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 in your classroom, consider the following tips to ensure your materials are prepared: Ensure each device has the LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 Software or App installed. Ensure each EV3 Brick has the latest firmware and is fully charged. Before connecting your device to the EV3 Bricks via Bluetooth in the classroom, we recommend renaming each EV3 Brick. This can be done in two ways: a. Update the name via the desktop EV3 Software using a USB cable. b. Change the name via the EV3 Brick under the Settings Tab (see the User Guide for more help). Ensure the EV3 set is sorted and organized or plan time for your students to sort and organize the sets. There is a benefit in having students do the sorting so they learn where all the pieces go and become familiar with what types of pieces are available.
a. Number or label each set in a way to differentiate each set. The brick, motors, and sensors should be labelled to match the set. b. Assign each student group to use the same set during each class. This will give students ownership of their set to take care of it during the class. To reduce pieces lost, have students use the lid of the set as a base to build on. This will keep pieces from falling off the table. Consider also having a lost piece cup/bin to collect pieces that are found on the floor. Each lesson provides a suggested time to cover the lesson. Remember that this is an average time to complete the lesson, which often does not include time to build the robot. Your students may take more or less time based on their capabilities. Ensure there is a place to store sets and robots in-between class session for each group. Robots will not fit within the sets once they are built. The maximum quantity of an item that can purchased in each transaction is 99.To inquire about purchasing more than 99 of one item, please call 800-362-4738.

Previously, if you wanted to program the EV3 robot, you had to use a PC or Mac. That can be somewhat limiting, if you are running a class and don’t have enough PCs or Macs to go around or if your child is already used to programming with other iPad apps and enjoys the ease and flexibility of that environment.
These days, it is somewhat expected that there’s an app for everything, so I’m pleased to report that the EV3 software environment has come of age. While the Lego Education Mindstorms EV3 Programming app is available to download for free, you will be prompted for a password, which you can only get if you have purchased the Lego Education EV3 Software. If you’re like me, and you purchased the software awhile back, you can call Lego tech support at 866-349-5346 for assistance with the password. Make sure to have your order number ready. I know it may seem expensive to buy the Lego Education EV3 Software for $99 when you can get the Lego Retail EV3 Software for free, but there are a lot of additional capabilities in the education version that I think are worth it. The software includes a Robot Educator that contains 48 step-by-step tutorials. It also provides model building instructions and programs for fascinating robots not found in the retail software. Some of the building instructions can be found in other places, but only the software has the programs.
Please note that the retail EV3 31313 set, the Lego Education EV3 45544 Core Set, and the Lego Education EV3 Expansion Set contain some different Lego Technic bricks, so make sure you have the right parts to build the desired robot models. If you need more help understanding the part differences, Robot Square has a great rundown. So, how easy was the app to install and use? Well, I had to clear some space on my iPad 2 and upgrade it to iOS 8.3, and that took me some extra time. Once the app was installed, though, I had the Bluetooth between the iPad and the EV3 Intelligent Brick talking in just a couple of minutes. The app included basic instructions on enabling Bluetooth and iPad use on the brick. I was immediately impressed that the app screens looked very similar to the Content Editor screens of the software. Programmers that are used to programming the EV3 on the PC or Mac won’t miss a beat. I had a sample program to light up the brick LEDs orange for 5 seconds coded and running right away.
I soon noted, though, that the app did not support all the programming blocks and tabs as the full software. The action and flow control tabs and most of their programming blocks are available, but the sensor, data operations, and advanced blocks are not. You’ll be able to move the robot, make sounds, light up the LEDs, do loops, and switch logic, but you won’t be able to check sensor values, work with variables, or create my blocks… at least not yet. It’s a good start, but if you are a sophisticated EV3 programmer, you won’t be able to utilize all the programming options available in the regular EV3 software. The app does have some extra features that some users will find helpful. For instance, it currently incorporates some of the Robot Educator tutorials. You can learn how to program the robot to follow a line or stop at an object. You’ll also find Teacher Support including tips and tricks on how to teach EV3 and an Introduction to Robotics Lesson Plan. Another issue that bothers me is that I don’t see a way to share my program.
I can download it to the attached brick, but I can’t send it to another user. In my FIRST Lego League class, we write programs on several computers, and we’re used to saving and sharing the programs, .ev3 files, on Google Drive. If another user wants to take my program and modify it on another iPad or a PC/Mac, how are they going to do that? There is an option in the PC/Mac software for doing an Import Brick Program, but it’s only for importing programs written on the brick itself. I tried to import the program I downloaded to the brick from my iPad with no luck. As I said, I’m thrilled that the there’s an app for EV3 programming now. It only took me a few minutes to set up, and since I had already purchased the Lego Education EV3 Software, I didn’t have to invest any additional money. I am sure that we will use the Lego Education Mindstorms EV3 Programming app in our upcoming FIRST Lego League season. It’s a great start to programming the EV3 on a tablet. However, if you only have the Lego Retail EV3 Software, you’ll have to decide if the tablet app is worth the additional investment of buying the Education Software.
