For Joe Videtto and other colleagues in the
NYC school system:
What’s LEGO Robotics all about? Should
teachers consider this a good option for a kit-oriented resource for Student
Robotics, Maker-learning, Learning Coding and Programming, Project Based
Learning, Digital Arts Projects, etc. etc?
Here are a few items that I think browsing
through will shed some light quickly… and then, take a deeper dive into items
that resonate! I’ll supplement with more
after a while.

1) This
(free) webinar from School Library Journal took place recently… much of this is
focused on the ELA/Literacy instructional connection, much of it involving
robotics, LEGO and other materials…

2) The links below from my blog Classroom
Robotics (LEGO Robotics specific posts are highlighted)
One of the best things for a teacher considering making LEGO Robotics part of what he/she does with students to do, is to get a broad overview of what's working elsewhere, what are other teachers doing successfully with the resource, and what sorts of things do kids do with them independently... to that end, why not enjoy spending a little time browsing through the links below?I've selected the following links (from among many more) as a kind of scattershot overview of the wide variety of activities, projects, applications, and ideas that are associated with LEGO Robotics for education.

3) I'll include My ISTE Book ‘Getting Started with LEGO Robotics’ as a truly comprehensive item for absolute, green beginners, as well as those beyond - those relatively new to LEGO Robotics (or those who simply want more insights into how its done) and those who are coaches and professional development and curriculum specialists who want to support newbees in getting started. One of the themes in the book that has struck a chord is that it is entirely possible for a teacher who is not a 'techie' or in a subject or responsibility area that would easily relate to technology, to get started with just a little independent effort and the interest and cooperation of the students! … The book explains this as well as the materials and resources, organizations that offer programs (like FIRST Lego League, etc.), classroom and materials management, curriculum connections across the curriculum, etc. etc. etc.(not a free option, but the book description on this page gives an overview impression of this area for those unfamiliar with it - obviously the book, itself goes into great depth on the areas mentioned) click link below...

Getting Started with LEGO Robotics. Anyone who works with kids can do LEGO Robotics, a rich and highly motivating platform for important STEM Learning! (surprisingly affordable, too) This books explains it all!
