Osmo is an award-winning system that attaches to various ipad models, including the iPad minis that are already provided to us by our school district. It is my goal to utilize Osmo kits to foster critical thinking in my 2nd grade students, incorporate hands-on learning in the areas of reading, spelling, math, and science while integrating technology. Osmos content is displayed on the iPad whiles students manipulate either word tiles, number tiles, or tangrams on a hard surface to correlate with what is being displayed on the screen. Students are very excited to use technology in the classroom and many students are becoming increasingly proficient with ipads. I'd like to extend and enrich that proficiency in tandem with our curriculum by using Osmos on the iPads during math stations, spelling, guided reading, and science . I envision students working in a group or in partners to solve math problems in a variety of ways. There is no one answer, however, students must work together to solve a problem. I'd also like to see students using create categories and vocabulary that correlate with the category to make real-life connections to their spelling words and vocabulary words in reading and science. Osmo kits not only has default puzzles and questions for all categories, but it encourages collaboration with teachers on an online forum. Teachers can create lessons and share with others across the country and world. I am so excited to share this amazing tool in my classroom and look forward to see all of the creative ways students can work together to solve problems, puzzles, guessing categories, spelling words, and much more! The possibilities for learning are endless with the Osmo kits. Thank you very much for considering my project.
