Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 450

This program exceeded my expectations!  The OSMO Creative set was a hit in my Makerspaces.  It engaged not only my third grade students, which was the target group, but also my 4th and 5th grade students!

 

This program allowed the students to interact with "the monster" to creative draw objects that he then pulled into the story.  The stories were different each time depending on the creativity of the user.  Students often collaborated on the drawings.  

 

This program worked so well that next year I hope to receive another OSMO set along with an ipad so we can reach a greater number of students at the same time!

 

It truly is hard to explain the excitement behind this so please take a look at the videos of the students creating and interacting here:    http://tinyurl.com/n58l56r

Original Grant Overview

Goal

The Osmo Creative Set combines creative tools, games and cutting edge technology to foster creativity and problem solving skills. I want to use this new set in my Media Center Makerspaces. 

 

What will be done with my students

The media center currently has 2 OSMO systems. The new Creative set has unique activities that are compatible with our currently owned systems.

The systems are set up in the media center's Makerspaces. Makerspaces are areas that allow students to learn creatively, collaboratively and independently through exploration.

The Monster Creative set bring a student's drawings to life! Each item they draw for Mo (our monster) will be magically pulled into his world. Together they can create animated activities to share with family and friends.

 

 

Benefits to my students

Osmo Curriculums are available for free for educators. They can download the Teacher’s Guide and choose from over 60 lesson plans, hand-crafted for Osmo. So there is always something new! The Osmo is a tool that can be used over and over again for years to come, so this grant will benefit much more than 200 students.

Osmo’s groundbreaking system fosters social intelligence and creative thinking by opening up the iPad to the endless possibilities of student learning and collaboration.  

 

Budget Narrative

The Creative Set contains the unique Creative Board, 6 Yoobi erasable washable markers, and a fuzzy pouch. It also includes the Creative Monster app. Two current apps that we already have, Masterpiece, and Newton, are optimized using the board that is included in this set.
