My students need resources to accompany our recently donated iPad. I am asking for Osmo and Tiggly interactive, hands-on, educational activity resources for iPad.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Younger's classroom raised $277

My Students
With 24 excellent, curious students, we do a lot of small-group/individual work which, one can imagine, requires independent, student-run activities for some while I work with others. This combo of iPad learning resources will enable some to maximize independent learning while I work with others.
I teach a wonderful group of first graders at a school in Southern California where 40% of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and 100% of the students receive free breakfast daily.
Our school loves to integrate the arts and technology into our academics because we know that many students get inspired and thrive in an atmosphere where they can explore and have fun too. We are a school full of many cultures, and many students speak another language other than English at home.
My Project
While we do small-group centers in my classroom, we usually have one group working with our teacher's assistant (reading, most often), and the other groups are either working independently or with me in a small group, so students can get more personalized instruction from me. The iPad Center that will be created/enabled by the requested resources, Osmo and the Tiggly games, will facilitate a higher-level, more interactive, center where students can maximize learning in their independent time, while I work with others. Osmo and the Tiggly games use the iPad's camera and touchscreen to capture the movements of actual, tangible items manipulated by the student to put their work on the screen - a true interactive, hands-on experience. These resources are highly praised by other educators.
Your donations to this project will add yet another 21st century resource to my class whose technology needs are trying to keep up with the world that surrounds us and the emphasis on new, collaborative and technology-based standards.
