Learning through Play

Second grade students are playing with iPads and Osmo softare this week in the JVE makerspace. There are many options for students to learn with. Some are practicing coding with Coding with Awbie or Coding Jam. Others built images with tangrams or squiggle shapes while others learned how to make pizza and give correct change to their virtual customers. Osmo has many different software packages that allow students to interact with game pieces and the software. It uses a special mirror top get input from the student and send to the iPad. Students have fun and don’t even realize they are learning.
