Genius Hour Blog #1: What is Genius Hour?

Before this class I was absolutely convinced that all forms of technology were above my abilities but today I have been happily proved wrong! There is SO MUCH accessible technology out there that can make learning (and teaching) more enjoyable!
Methods like Gamification and Genius Hour provide examples of how different styles of learning are being incorporated in the classroom with positive results! Allowing students more choice in what and how they learn opens up a world of possibilities. I'm so glad these creative approaches to teaching exist and I'm excited to explore them!
I'm including a video I found while researching Genius Hour that shows the unique ideas real life students chose to explore for their Genius Hour. Look at the children's faces and see how excited they are to develop their own ideas!

    Your digital portfolio is visually appealing, I really liked the way you created the layout for the blog. It’s very easy to navigate through the blog. Every post you wrote is very detailed and explains the process of your Genius Hour. You have used images and incorporated citation of the images that shows you have gone above and beyond! In all, it is an amazing blog! Keep up the great work!

    Your digital portfolio is great! I really appreciate how all of your posts are organized and filled with visual components. Also, I love the aspect of humour in each of your posts (especially the GIFs you added, lol!). Well done!
