Osmo For Schools Gifts 4 Lucky Teachers $500 Gift Cards For TikTok Videos in Celebration Of Teacher Appreciation Week
In honor of National Teacher Appreciation Week, our education branch, Osmo for Schools has selected four lucky teachers on TikTok to receive a $500 gift card for their creative and inspiring videos.
“Throughout this past year, we were so thrilled to see so many teachers who used their creativity to the max to get kids to learn during this challenging time, and we loved the heartwarming videos they posted on social media, to tell the world what they did and how,” says Jan Richards, head of education sales and marketing at Osmo for Schools, which promotes in-classroom usage of Osmo’s tools and recently received the 2021 EdTech Award for Curriculum and Instruction Solution. “We laughed a lot when the videos were funny, admired their dedication, and got inspired by so many. Osmo for Schools selected 4 teachers who present themselves as heroes going the extra mile during the pandemic.”
The 4 winning teachers are:
Kindergarten teacher Clamentia Hall, Jr. (@mrclementineteach), “Osmo has taken educational technology and teacher appreciation to an unprecedented level! It has been an absolute pleasure to share a bit of humor and joy with educators who could use a little morale boost. Osmo has affirmed that educators everywhere deserve an incredible amount of appreciation for the hard work they do.”
On July 1, 2021, Osmo for Schools, in partnership with Osmo’s charitable branch, Osmo Cares will begin accepting applications for its first-ever mini-grant consisting of $2000 worth of Osmo for Schools’ educational technology. A total of 20 in-kind, mini-grants will be awarded to U.S. public schools in time for the fall semester. The mini-grant is intended to help schools that lack needed funding to purchase educational technology. Mini-grant recipients, who will be announced on August 9, 2021, will be able to choose from a selection of Osmo for Schools products; only one recipient will be selected per school. Schools must already have appropriate tablets on hand, or a plan to purchase tablets–they are not included.
