What is Genius Hour?

My Genius Hour Project! Check out my Powtoon informing you on what "Genius Hour" really is! If you are looking for new and creative ways to incorporate technology into your classroom, I recommend using Powtoon! I learned a new way to form a presentation for instructional purposes!

Stop Motion Animation

Here is my "Runaway Cookie Stop Motion" that I created on google slides. This is a fun activity that allowed me to explore my creative side and to attempt something that had never crossed my mind of doing, even though this is seen all the time! It's a great activity to incorporate into the classroom. This stop motion animation could be used in a variety of courses, I highly recommend looking into this for future assignments!

Calendar of Events

Here you will find all the dates of my Genius Hour Project from September to October, a great way to make a calendar like this is on google calendar!

An example of this would be Plickers. Plickers is a useful and unique way to assess your students knowledge or preparedness in a subject or assess whether homework was completed. I completed an example version, Check it out here! There were a variety of other sites that were also great tools to use whether that be a website for organizing a classroom, or a fun activity to incorporate. For the school portion of my genius hour, I have came to a few realizations. Such as not everything that we have learned is my style of teaching, and that is okay!

If you would like to give it a try, all you need is to go to google slides and check out how to speed up the distance between the slides and you're good to go! Here it is!
