Genius Hour Project
Final Reflection
Genius Hour as a Teaching Strategy After completing this project, I really can see the merit in using this as a teaching strategy in a high school setting. Especially as a potential high school teacher! Many high school students are in a phase of life where they are beginning to look inside and discover who they are and who they will become as they continue to grow. They are constantly bombarded with questions about who they want to be, and what are they going to do once they graduate...university? college? enter the work force? come back and do a victory lap? Question after question...but who really knows who or what they are going to be when they graduate high school? I know I didn't....heck I will be graduating teachers college a whole decade after graduating from my undergrad. What a great way to try and figure out some answers to those questions by doing a Genius Hour type project to look into potential career options before spending the money at a post secondary ins...
Hey Laura! What an interesting Genius Hour Project, I hope you get that IFBB pro card!! Your Stop Motions video is really cute- way to visualize your goals. The only feedback I have to give, based on the rubric, would be to reconsider having the artifact reflections separated from the actual artifact or to add a comment so readers know what they are! In the rubric it says that they are to be accompanied by a reflection or context setting statement. Glad to hear you had such a productive experience with your project.
ReplyDeleteHi Laura!
ReplyDeleteYour blog was a great read!! I really like the tone and language you chose. Your blog is very engaging! I can really tell that you care about the topic you chose and this is something that is important to you. The layout of your blog is very clear and I like how you made separate posts for some of the artifacts. Your posts have lots of photos which makes the blog look awesome. As for suggestions, I would be careful posting documents that may have personal information (i.e. the Lifelabs document in the February 9 post) and it would be great to add some text introducing each of the awesome artifacts you made! I really enjoyed reading your blog and I would love to see you get your IFBB Pro Card!
