Hi again!
When I first began looking through my assignments/projects for this course of "Teaching Digital Learners in a Digital Age", I was confused as to what a Genius Blog was. And so, I'm assuming you're confused as well!
A 'Genius Blog' was first created by Google in an attempt to motivate their staff's performance. A video I've attached below explains it very well.
Still having trouble understanding what a 'Genius Hour' is? There are a ton of video explanations just on YouTube.
This is such a great way to empower students' and provide an opportunity for self-directed learning! In addition to providing students' with opportunities to practice self-directed learning, they are also practicing skills such as: problem-solving skills, time-management, independence, critical thinking, discovery and curiosity, language and literacy skills, and so much more!
As part of my 'Genius Hour' assignment, I'm required to state my goals and a question I'm looking to answer. That'll be on my next post so stay tuned!
Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to read my post :)
Talk soon!
Remember to always be nice to each other
