Genius Hour Products

The students have had such a great time with Genius Hour.  It has been an awesome experience for the students to have access to the iPads and Chromebooks.  The students have learned  much about their topic and then been able to share their new knowledge with their peers.

                Miss Gardner helps Gage and Ethan get everything just right.

                   Aymee and Chloe work together on Buddy Poke.

                 Noah is working diligently on his Haiku Deck presentation.

The students have done an amazing job with transferring the information from their research into technology products. There was definitely a learning curve for all of us as we learned the apps.  It is always amazing to me how quickly the students can learn this stuff.  Much more so than me. However, I must say that for this to be my first time using so many of these tools, I am quite proud of myself as well.

Some of the students chose to do Haiku Deck.  They integrated a Word Cloud into their presentation. Other students chose to do Buddy Poke, Slide Paper Videos, and iMovie.
