My Project

By incorporating technology into the classroom, I will be providing students with an additional way to learn. All students learn in different ways and in their own time. By providing a variety of tools, it will help to meet those students needs.

Osmo is a technology tool used to develop student skills in all areas of learning.

It is connected to the tablets but it provides a hands on element that a lot of students will need. It can be used for math, science, and literacy. It is built so that each game allows for the skills of that child to be met. The tablets and headphones can be used with the Osmo to increase student learning.
