Purchasing 5 Osmo Genius Kits

The Description

With these funds I will purchase 5 OSMO Genius Kits. The kits cost $99 each. The library media center already has the iPads that are required to support and run the technology.

The OSMO technology will provide the many students who daily visit the school's library media center with an opportunity to interact either individually or in small groups. Our high school consists of many low income students whose only access to technology is when they are on the school's campus and in the library media center. The OSMO technology would foster learning in key areas such as: social-emotional skills, creative thinking, art, STEM (Science,Technology, Engineering, Mathematics). Our school also has a high ESOL population and the OSMO activities would develop the students' English language skills. 

Back Up Plan

If we do not meet our goal, we will purchase the amount of OSMO Genius Kits that the moneys invested provides. If not able to reach the minimum $99, we would purchase paperback books to be used for checking out from the library media center. Books (the print version) are still one of the best "technologies" available (and they do not need batteries :).
