Having more OSMO activities will allow for more students to have exposure to technology with a hands on component. OSMO allows them to be creative. The Monster game allows students to draw and use their creativity to be a part of the game. Whatever they draw becomes a reality in the game. The OSMO pizza games allows students to have fun creating pizzas for customers, but my favorite part of the game is when they have to count back change to the customers for their pizza purchase. Money is such an integral part of life, that the more students can practice using it, the better. OSMO makes hands on learning and technology come together. Instead of just technology and staring at a screen, OSMO brings hands on learning into the picture. We need more hands on learning in the classroom that keeps students engaged, like technology seems to. I have one OSMO in my classroom, the funding of this project would allow me to have up to 4 OSMOs going at once, allowing all of my students to play and learn more!
