Having the Osmo Genius Kits in my classroom will change the way my students collaborate, create, think critically, and most importantly, communicate. Osmo enables the iPad to merge the power of physical play with the digital advantage of real-time feedback. Therefore, an iPad is needed to accompany the Osmo in order for the program to work. Playing beyond the screen invites students to collaborate on tables or floors while manipulating tangible game pieces such as number tiles, letter tiles, and coding blocks. The Osmo is an exciting, hands-on tool, which enables the children to learn and grow without even realizing that they’re learning because they’re having fun. The children also receive positive feedback, which also boosts their confidence and encourages them to go further as they play “beyond the screen”. When learning is fun, it becomes more meaningful and allows the students to gain a sense of security.
