I thought I would share a short video we created with directions for teachers using VEX 123. This video shows how to create a 3 x 3 grid on a Promethean Board, then upload a VEX 123 robot .png file. The robot picture can then be maneuvered on the board to mimic what students are doing on their fields.

What a great tutorial @Mike_Bothwell! This will be an amazing resource for students & teachers to utilize in the classroom!
This is awesome! I can see this being incredibly helpful for so many teachers 
This is great for problem solving/correcting codes both in small group and whole class instruction. Additionally, using the whiteboard to write in the boxes, it can be a center in addition to using the physical 123 bot.
Example, teacher puts state capitals in the boxes and students are tasked with programming the bot to the correct capital. Student writes the code on the board, then moves the robot based on that code.
Yes! It opens up a lot of great interactivity, with and without the physical robot right in front of you. It’s a great tool - and the way you presented it was clear and super helpful. Particularly how you highlighted the fact that the robot has to turn first, then move to the next row. Working with an image you can just drag along, that’s something that people may forget
It’s a good idea to have the code written on the board (by teacher or students) just to really hammer down the step by step element of simple coding. Instead of “move the robot here”, it becomes “ok I need to go forward, turn left, forward two…”.
The link from the original post wasn’t working for some reason…trying again here!
This is incredible! Thank you so much for sharing, I think this is going to be so helpful for so many teachers.
