What is Osmo?

I am excited to announce that I am the proud owner of some Osmo materials for my kindergarten students!  Thanks to some generous people from Donors Choose, we received a special delivery of two Osmo kits and lots of manipulative accessories.

What is Osmo?  It's a totally innovative device that transforms an iPad into an interactive classroom accessory, able to add a level of excitement that engages students in the learning process.  It's pretty amazing how students interact with an iPad without even touching the screen.  Playing beyond the screen invites students to collaborate while drawing, designing, and manipulating tangible game pieces such as number tiles, letter tiles, tangram shapes, and coding blocks.  Students are enjoying working in pairs to use the kits at choice time. 







I'm really excited to do centers and individualized alphabet and word games with my students.  Watch the blog for new and engaging ways we will be using Osmo.
