Edison Resources: Play Mat

While trawling through the existing 'Edison 2' resources from the official site I was able to locate this free downloadable play mat.  The resource looks excellent - it covers all the key expected areas of the bar code programming.   The next task associated with this is to locate a print shop capable of printing the mat A2 or A1 size and the contemplating of the laminating of such a sheet as it would be a heavy use object.   Given the multi-use of the mat I feel that it would be an excellent teaching resource and something to enable the teachers to use the technology in a meaningful way.  We are an extremely well resources school that has a multitude of resources including a variety of robots available to staff and students (including Beebots and Ozobots) my challenge is to ensure that the teachers are feeling empowered with the technology to use it, and then apply the computational thinking as a consequence for the students to be successful.
