Shenmin and Gary's Osmo Learning Story

Learner: Gary & Shenmin    Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 24.11.15

Learning Area: iDevelop - Literacy (Osmo)

Learning Observed and Vision Principles

On Tuesdays the Yoyos learning group has a Literacy intensive day and one of the activities we have used is an iPad game called Osmo. It involves seeing the image and placing the letters under the sensor to spell the matching word. Gary and Shenmin both enjoyed using Osmo and were very engaged in what was involved. They were curious about how it worked and how they would be successful at using the game correctly. Both boys showed excitement at trying to beat the other, but ended up working more collaboratively then they had originally anticipated! Gary and Shenmin were able to build up their ability to recognise and use vocabulary by connecting each image to a variety of words they knew. The challenge was to find the right word!
