Goal

Osmo kits can be used in conjunction with IpADs provided and purchased by the School District of Collier County. The Osmo set includes: letter tiles, number tiles and dot dice in order to help reinforce skills in core content areas. When used as a center or within a small group it provides students the opportunity to work in collaboration with peers through a technology platform.
 

 

What will be done with my students

Lessons are available for word work from basic picture vocabulary to complex knowledge across all subject areas and grade levels. Teachers are able to upload lessons as well as access the shared folders which contain endless lessons provided by other teachers. Learning spans from sight words to mathematics from basic math facts to multiplication and division. Additionally, teachers have the ability to upload their own word lists (i.e. vowel patterns) phonics features (i.e. prefixes) etc, to match their curriculum content standards.

 

 

Benefits to my students

When working with students with disabilities and English Language Learners, this kit adaptation provides a picture to word connection to deepen meaning of words across all subject areas, which is essential for struggling readers or when learning a new language. The Osmo kit provides ample opportunity for hands on learning and is a wonderful manipulative that can be incorporated into daily learning. Incorporation of the Osmo kit within centers and small group time can significantly eliminate worksheets and provide a more engaging activity. Additionally, it allows students to have confidence and a sense of excitement while participating with peers when using this engaging technology. Multiple kits are essential in order to incorporate the technology across grade levels in numerous small group work and center time. Special Education and English Language Teachers will be able to incorporate Osmo kits into small group time with students.
