[aisle] Coding Robot options

[Michelle Harris]

*I have Ozobots and love them. * I've had mine for *several *years now, and
yes, they do need an overnight charge now to make it through more than 3
hours of continuous use.  I've created many tech/literature lessons with
them! Kids love them.  And I make this recommendation having had
experience with a LOT of different coding robots: Dash & Dot, Spheros,
Sphero Minis, Botley, Code & Go Mice, makeBot, Cosmos.
Botley and Code & Go are great for K&1st, but once a student can read,
Ozobots are the way to go. I did purchase the rubber "skins" to help them
survive falls...and so far we've never damaged a single one (and we have a
set of 24).  I heartily recommend them!
