Genius Hour/
Student Choice Projects
All students can benefit from choosing a “genius hour” or “passion project” and dedicating time to expanding their learning on the topic each day.
Students select a topic of high interest such as learning to skateboard, creating a biography of a favorite video game creator, discovering a new travel destination, learning a new language, etc.
Each day students learn about the topic via online research, youtube videos, blogs, or podcasts.
Students can keep track of their learning by creating their own screencasts or blogs.
