Classroom Resource: FaceCards
Some teachers have found that while they like the benefits of the I.D. Card exercise, they have found the expense, inconvenience (dangling badges get in the way) and policing ("Where's your badge?") out weighed the benefit. FaceCards were developed as a lower cost/maintenance solution. The two FaceCards of a Robotics Team's members are intended to be placed in a clear sheet protector by the team's kit/supplies. The FaceCard has the same information as the I.D. Badge, but in a larger format/layout. The attached FaceCard PowerPoint file contains a template for the FaceCard (two per page) and instructions for students for creating the content for the cards. The last slide contains another "first-days" activity for students to help gather information to aid the teacher in forming the initial Robotics Teams.
