My Students

Technology, technology, technology! Teachers and students are exposed daily. With money restraints and changes in operating systems, obstacles occur. With this grant, I could learn more about Osmos. Oh please, let me be the student through this awesome opportunity! I'd definitely love the chance!

The town where I teach is a close knit community and we have great students, teachers and parents!

Our Pre K-5th grade school is one of two feeder schools in the area. Our school has approximately 535 students. I teach twenty-four Kindergarten students. With the new Common Core implemented, our teachers and students are all trying our best to move forward and do what is best for our children. We are fortunate to have hard working students who enjoy learning. Like others at my school, I personally want to strive to learn more about this new Osmo system with Ipads. I would love to have one to use with my eager students later on down the line. I already have the ipad. I just need the Osmo and iPad keyboard. I know to accomplish this though, I need to back step a bit and be a student once again. I am more than willing to do what it takes. There is no doubt that having an Osmo would eventually benefit me as a teacher and, of course, my students later on.

My Project

Osmos are new devices in classrooms. I really would like to learn about Osmos for creative and collaborative lessons with my iPad. In terms of Professional Development my plan is to work with our tech leader in a small group setting. The lesson plan for my personal learning journey includes meeting for 3 sessions to understand this new tool. In speaking with our tech leader, she recommended professional development tutorials that would guide me. With the use of the requested Osmo and Ipad keyboard in this grant, my mentor will guide me with my learning path. My plan of action for this lies with striving for 2 goals: Learning to use Osmo and ipad keyboard as a student and implementing it for creative and collaborative lessons with my students. The Osmo and keyboard in the proposal would be used for me to learn about them during professional development. In the future, they would be used in centers with collaborative group settings, in pairs or individually.

Technology is a MUST in the classrooms today.

The ongoing cycle of learning is critical for successful educators today. I am more than willing to learn about Osmo with the guidance of my school's technology leader. I know as a student, I can move forward to eventually help my Kindergarten students. But first, I will become the one who needs to learn. Oh please, let me be the student again with this grant!
