Genius Hour... Next Steps

2/13/2014

0 Comments

 
As many of you know, each student in Division 5 is working on a "Genius Hour" project. Genius Hour gives students an hour each week on Friday afternoons to learn about a topic that they are passionate or curious about. Each project idea was thought of and designed by the student, approved by the teacher, and must be based upon research. Students will present their findings from their topics and central questions at the beginning of June this year. 

While that might still seem very far away, it's actually time to start considering what we need to accomplish before then. Several students are building projects (creating board games, stop-motion animation props, creating books, etc.), whereas others are creating theirs digitally (iMovies, BookCreator app, learning to code, etc.). Please discuss the next steps of this project with your child and what they would like to accomplish. Their work so far can be found in their Google Drive folders.

Final presentations in June must have a digital component involved. Students are allowed to use any presentation or video software they like to present their learning journey. We will be discussing in class which presentation tool will most effectively demonstrate their learning about their topic and I will guide them to what can work best for them. Chances are that no matter which tool they end up selecting, there will need to be a lot of photo documentation of their project as possible, so take lots of photos if they are working on this at home!
