When to begin (during the school year)?
How to integrate with writing? (Quick writes, essays at the end, expository pieces?)
Where to store their builds during the school year?
Can I integrate a project-based learning perspective with this?
How do I obtain the materials or resources they need?

I'm thinking about taking it slow, one step at a time...
1.  Introduce tech skills/tools during computer lab time to the whole class and have them practice during station/center time
2. Still starting off the year with station and centers and introducing GH as a "passion project" for when they're done with their stations...possibly extending it into writer's workshop...for those early finishers...just seeing how this will work and going from there...

How does differentiation look within Genius Hour? Fewer questions? Simplified product?

Concerned about my own tech skills for guiding students along.

Would love to do without grading, but invoke an accountability piece

Is it possible/acceptable to focus on a subject (i.e. math, science) and then have students think about what they want to know within the content area?

I like how Genius Hour allows the students to create projects that they are most interested in. During this hour, I thought of how I could implement all of this in my high school English classes. One idea I came up with is having the students create a convention (sort of like Greater Austin Comicon) that focuses on a specific genre or literary period. They would then do the research on who the guest speakers could be, what the panel discussions would focus on, what products would be sold at the vendors' booths, etc. This is a little off the beaten track, but it could lead to some creative products.

I am feeling a mix of emotions!
1. Impressed by the idea of a creative way to get students' invested in research and individual curiosity/ learning.
2. Worried about timing, especially moving from teaching two subjects to being self-contained.
3. Excited to see what students want to research.
4. Wondering if you could come in and support me during the first round :)
5. Nervous about teaching third graders to research and how limited reading levels may impact their experience.

I want to give my students opportunities to study their passions and become geniuses.  I'm excited to implement Genius Hour with my students and give them opportunities to research and share their knowledge with the class and others.  I have used Padlet a lot of times, but I've never given it to students as a presentation tool.  I think it will give them an easy way to organize and present their ideas.  I plan to make sure and find a colleague that will also use Genius Hour so our students can present with each otehr.  I like the idea of allowing "early finishers" to go on and study another one of their questions.  I have always found time to be one of my biggest struggles in research type problems as students all work at their own pace.

Hope to enhance synthesizing and organizing information

I plan on forgoing center/small group time Fridays. I teach ELA (4th grade), and this will enhance research TEKS, ELD TEKS, Tech TEKS and Writing TEKS.

I wonder how this will work within partner-teach schedule?

# data[].attributes.body
1.  What kind of technology skills are my students coming in with?
2.  How do I get first graders to research with purpose and "quality"?
3. I teach a VB (Vietnamese Bilingual) Class - how will GH help me continue to build foundational skills?

I'll be teaching Science and Social Studies for 5th grade - you provided resources for both those subjects so it's exciting to think about doing Genius hour for both subjects! I'll have three different classes rotating through, so I would need to figure out that time management....
