My students need one iPad Mini and one Osmo Genius Kit to enhance their critical thinking, fine motor, and cooperative learning skills academically in all areas.
A wise person once said, "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I may remember. Involve me and I learn." I want to give my students hands-on opportunities to grow academically using technology throughout their day.
My kindergartners are motivated, inquisitive, and excited to learn in this digital age.
Many of my students come from low-income backgrounds with little previous school experience. They are hungry for new experiences and innovative ways to learn math and reading skills.
My Project
The Osmo Genius kits and accompanying iPad will give students the opportunity to improve many intelligences at once- spatial, interpersonal, and motor skills. The Osmo games can help improve many academic areas including literacy and math. My students will love playing these interactive games in small groups during math and literacy centers. They will work on solving puzzles, spelling words, and problem-solving mathematical problems. These skills will help develop well rounded individuals that are independent thinkers all while having fun!
This project will help expose my students to innovative technology and provide them with hands-on tools at the same time.
These materials will also provide play opportunities to improve their ability to work together to succeed, a skill crucial to success in life.
