Genius hour is project based learning task or activity. Students choose their own project on any subject. The idea is to choose a passion, choose something that you are going to enjoy learning and developing. If the idea can be answered by a 2 minute google search then dig deeper. When researching an idea you need to think about,
What will i learn? What will i create? What will i solve?
What do i love? what are my interests? How can i make an impact?
I love that we are moving into a culture of allowing our children to take ownership of their learning. As a teacher it takes us out of our comfort zone, we are no longer the be holder of all knowledge. Its a scary prospect but also exciting!
