- 8. Genius Hour – Productive, creative, empowered students making decisions about what to learn, and then passionately learning and creating. ~Denise Krebs
- 9. What is Genius Hour? I like the idea of asking my kidlets to think about what THEY want to learn. Kids get so used to just spitting out answers and they stop being able to really think for themselves. I want students to find things that THEY are passionate about and I want them to share these passions with our class. So many students don’t excel in the things schools/government decide is important. Why not have one hour a week where everyone can feel like they are a genius? ~Kat Ling
- 10. Genius Hour is a precious time, loved by all my students. It is when they are allowed to develop their own inquiry question about whatever it is that they want to explore. ~Gallit Zvi
- 11. Genius Hour as an idea gives autonomous personalized learning time out of every week for students to question, think, learn, and explore the things that they loved and were curious about. This was something special that engaged learners like nothing I had seen before. ~Hugh McDonald

- Why should students be productive, creative, and empowered?
- Slide by Denise Krebs (@mrsdkrebs)
- "My contention is that creativity is now as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status." — Sir Ken Robinson Slide by Denise Krebs (@mrsdkrebs)

- slide 15: so how do we get started with Gh? I think it is really important to take the time to intro GH well. Remembering that this much freedom in their learning is very new for most of them! So how do we get inspired? I use a lot of inspiring videos...others have taken nature walks for inspiration
- slide 16: I will def try the nature walks in the future..I really don’t think we get outside enough...2 other really great videos to get us pumped about GH are obvious to you, amazing to others and Kid President. if you haven’t heard of this guy, you need to google him and watch his videos--he is super awesome!
- slide 17: the next step is brainstorming. I ask them to think about the things they love and love to do outside of school. or what they wonder about...all ideas count...thse may or may not become their GH quesions, but for now, we put it all up. Here are a few examples...
- slide 18: step 3: we need to create an inquiry question. my first year doing GH we didnt do this step, we just jumped right in and did projects in our interest areas, but I really found that phrasing our topic in the form of a question, helped students stay focused and deepened their understanding of their inquiry project.
- slide 19: so our final step in to self -assess. We use the creativity rubric that my friend Denise created (it is on geniushour.wikispaces.com), we also give peer feedback on our class blogs during our inquiry projects and after we are done. And I try to have 1 on 1 conferences as often as possible with the students. I choose not to grade GH projects, but I do give them feedback and ask them lots of questions. so those are the 4 main steps--
