My students need more interactive programming, and Ozobot robotics and Ozmo Coding Jam have proven themselves the most popular. Adding more of what kids love is a great way to expand our library's information technology options.
Students at our school learn so much more than the 3Rs. As an international school, students spend half the day in Spanish or Mandarin language immersion classroom and half in English Language Arts. Add to that the cultural and economic diversity of our families and you've got the recipe for a great education of what makes our multicultural society a magnet for people from around the world.
Our library and information technology program inspires students and staff to integrate learning by every means available.
As an International school, our library strives to introduce new resources into lives of students that reflect their home cultures and experiences bridging their family's home culture and dreams for success in America. Having a strong Library and Information Technology program helps open a world of learning. Thanks.
My Project
Kids love getting a playful introduction to programming and code. Our Ozobot and Osmo exploration kits are far and away the most popular part of the library...beyond the books! Adding more modules of both means that boys and girls get more frequent access to individual learning experiences that take them off screen and into code-able manipulatives.
Nothing beats robots and interactive musical apps that respond to kids' coding.
I've been especially delighted to see how many hard-to-engage students have responded to the maniputative ease of coding Ozobots. Finding an exciting "hook" in the library gives everyone a reason to cheer!
