New iPad case & base
- What is the warranty on the Speck™ iPad case?
  
  There is a one year warranty on the Speck™ case made for Osmo. If you believe that your case may be covered under the warranty, kindly reach out to our support team.
- How many Osmo iPad protective cases are available?
  There is one Osmo designed, and Speck produced iPad case that accommodates the:
  
  iPad Air, Air2, iPad 5th Generation, iPad 6th Generation and the Pro 9.7-inch
  
  Osmo is in the process of designing a new iPad protective case that will accommodate the iPad 7th Generation (10.2-inch) model.
- Why a custom-designed iPad case?
  
  After testing most existing iPad protective cases in the marketplace, we've discovered that none work with Osmo! For this reason, we went back to the drawing board and tested various custom designs instead.
  
  The result of many months of hard work is a new and improved iPad base AND a protective case designed specifically for Osmo use! We partnered with Speck, a leading name in protective cases, to ensure the highest level of iPad protection and we're excited to share some relevant information about both the new base and case:
  
  New iPad Base:
  - easy: to carry and to set up for small hands. No more inserts to adjust.
  - landscape: can fit the iPad in both landscape & portrait modes; docks without removing the reflector
  - solid: stable and sturdy design
  
  New iPad Case:
  - works exclusively with the new iPad base, and does not need to be removed!
  - drop tested at 10-feet to ensure ultimate device protection
  - protects ports, microphone, speakers, camera and entire device
- Does the new Osmo Case need to be removed during Osmo play?
  
  Nope! The Osmo case and new base are designed to work together, so that the case and reflector can stay on the iPad indefinitely!
- Which devices is the Osmo Case compatible with?
  
  This new Speck protective iPad case is designed to work with these devices only:
  
  - iPad Air, Air 2 (not Air 3)
  - 5th generation
  - 6th generation
  - Pro 9.7-inch
  
  What about the new iPad 7th Generation?
  We're in the process of designing a new protective iPad case for this device, and expect it to become available in February 2020.
  
  What about the iPad Mini?
  Let us know if you're interested in purchasing the new case & base for the iPad Mini, as well as the quantity, by sending an email to schools@playosmo.com. We'll be in touch when they are ready!
- Will the new Speck iPad protective case work with the classic Osmo iPad base?
  
  No, it will not. The Speck-designed Osmo iPad protective case will only work with the newly designed Osmo iPad base.
  
  How do you know which iPad base you have? See attached images for:
  (A) classic iPad base (does not work with Speck case)
  (B) newly designed iPad base (works with Speck case)
  
  The key differences between the two bases are:
  - the newly designed iPad base will work with the custom-designed Speck case (and the classic base won't)
  - improved stability
  - works in landscape mode to double as an iPad stand
  
  If you own the classic iPad base, know that it works with ALL the Osmo games (including the newest games), so there's no reason to replace it unless you want to order the compatible iPad Speck case. The Speck case is available for purchase on our website.

- How do I reset game progress in student profiles?
  
  To reset progress in Osmo apps (except for Monster), click on the settings icon (a gear) in the top left corner of the home screen and select 'Reset progress'.
  
  As for Monster, the developers are working on a reset feature, which should come in a future version. Currently, the only way to reset Monster is to delete and reinstall the app.
  
  We're working on adding better functionality for teachers. If you need to reset progress on a long list of profiles, the best solution right now may be to delete the old profiles and create new ones.
  
  You can delete student profiles at your myOsmo page (https://my.playosmo.com).
  
  After you log in, click 'myProfiles' on top of the page, then select the profiles you wish to delete and click 'Delete'.
- When would I integrate Monster en Español into the school day?
  
  This depends on your students’ needs and your access to iPads. That said, many teachers use Monster during small-group instruction, independent learning, and centers. Monster en Español is ideal for these and similar times.
- Why Monster in Spanish?
  
  We created Monster en Español because ongoing research strongly suggests that learning a second language at a young age positively impacts creativity and critical thinking. The reason we started with Spanish is because nearly 20 million children in the U.S. are Spanish speakers.
- I do not speak Spanish. Can I use Monster en Español in my classroom?
  
  Yes! If you are familiar with Monster, you will understand the premise of Monster en Español. When creating this learning tool, the Osmo team took into account that many teachers who support Spanish speakers have limited knowledge of Spanish. For that reason, the product has instructions in English and the onboarding is designed to be intuitive.

  GRANTS
  Here are some suggested ways in which to obtain grants to purchase Osmo for classroom or school use.
  
  1. DonorsChoose.org
  Amount: N/A
  
  Discount: While not a traditional grant, DonorsChoose.org is an excellent way of raising funds for your classroom. Public school teachers essentially propose classroom projects and post their proposals on the website. In these proposals, you will include very specific items that you need, ranging from standard tool supplies to microscopes, laboratory equipment and computer software. Donors browse the site and have the opportunity to donate money to your cause.
  
  2. AIAA Foundation Classroom Grant Program
  Amount: $200
  
  Description: The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronauts is dedicated to the importance of STEM education and awards $200 in grants to K-12 teachers who want to incorporate new ways of teaching science, technology, education and mathematics into their classroom. Funds can be used to purchase laboratory equipment, math and science software, robotics supplies, and other items that will add depth and dimension to your lessons. https://www.aiaa.org/Secondary.aspx?id=4184&terms=grants
  
  3. NEA Foundation Student Achievement Grants
  Amount: $2,000 to $5,000
  
  Description: The NEA Foundation allows practicing public school teachers to apply for the funding of programs designed to improve the academic achievement of students. You must create a plan that fosters critical thinking and problem solving in students and aims to expand their comprehension of various subjects. The grant will fund your efforts for 12 months, and funding may be used for resource materials, supplies, equipment, transportation and technology — any part of the proposed plan that has a direct impact on the students’ learning. For specific application information, visit the NEA Foundation’s application instructions page.
