The students had their choice of five different games: Newton (an engineering type game), Words (similar to Hang Man), Numbers (math game), Tangrams (shape game) and Masterpiece (drawing app). Every game started off with an easy level but progressed according to the student's skill level. Every student was challenged, but not frustrated, I think. I'm really interested in the new Osmo games that are coming out. I'm trying to encourage our teachers to check Osmo out to use in their classrooms.

Ginna HillI'm the librarian at Fern Bluff Elementary. We're piloting a Maker Space in the library this year. Maker Spaces, STEAM labs and fab labs are popping up in schools across the country. Maker Spaces provide hands-on, creative ways to encourage students to design, experiment, build and invent as they deeply engage in science, engineering and tinkering.I'm going to share what works and what doesn't.
