Operation Passion Project: Genius Hour Ideas! by Jodie Rowe https://padlet.com/jrowe8/v6bgs4r229x1 Please describe how you think you could use Genius Hour in YOUR classroom! en-us 2017-08-15 01:21:26 UTC 2025-09-30 12:19:36 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Lightdecrease.png Genius Hour jbenton0021 https://padlet.com/jrowe8/v6bgs4r229x1/wish/181269988 I think this would be a great way to incorporate research/student choice into the AVID curriculum.  I also think this could be used in my Advisory as a way to share and work on their service learning projects!  Thank you!

Great Job!]]> 2017-08-16 14:50:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jrowe8/v6bgs4r229x1/wish/181270118 This is an important topic! It balances "schooling" i.e. test focus, with authentic learning. https://padlet.com/jrowe8/v6bgs4r229x1/wish/181270127 Thank you.]]> 2017-08-16 14:50:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jrowe8/v6bgs4r229x1/wish/181270127 Genius Hour https://padlet.com/jrowe8/v6bgs4r229x1/wish/181316929 The structure piece was awesome!  I do a social issues argumentative research paper where students can pick a controversial topic and write the essay.  I plan to incorporate what I learned today to have them turn it into a Genius Hour project and also earn service learning credit by sharing.

I did get some ideas like "the Shark Tank" presentation idea, passion bracket etc. Working on smaller projects in other areas would help prepare Sr.'s for their major semester long project. ]]> 2017-08-16 18:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jrowe8/v6bgs4r229x1/wish/181316936 Genius Hour https://padlet.com/jrowe8/v6bgs4r229x1/wish/181317070 I would love to try this with my 4th graders. The idea of them having control of their learning is exciting!]]> 2017-08-16 18:44:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jrowe8/v6bgs4r229x1/wish/181317070 Great Idea kids having the option of choosing what they want to design. I think they will be highly engaged. However, as a teacher will have to adapt to the chaos. https://padlet.com/jrowe8/v6bgs4r229x1/wish/181317145 2017-08-16 18:45:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jrowe8/v6bgs4r229x1/wish/181317145 khendershot1 https://padlet.com/jrowe8/v6bgs4r229x1/wish/181317405 Ourchildren need to work individually and think creatively. I love the PowerPoint slides, very helpful! ]]> 2017-08-16 18:46:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jrowe8/v6bgs4r229x1/wish/181317405 https://padlet.com/jrowe8/v6bgs4r229x1/wish/181317415 Possibly a slower modified version of students working independently to be creative thinkers as students with learning disabilities. 
Presenters great and visuals helpful.]]> 2017-08-16 18:46:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jrowe8/v6bgs4r229x1/wish/181317415 I like the bracket idea to help focus in on one idea. I could use this in my classroom when kids are deciding which book to read for a report. https://padlet.com/jrowe8/v6bgs4r229x1/wish/181317662 2017-08-16 18:48:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jrowe8/v6bgs4r229x1/wish/181317662 Flipgrid!!! https://padlet.com/jrowe8/v6bgs4r229x1/wish/181318181 I love this!  Love the "Shark Tank" pitch idea.
