A3) I like the book What do you do with an idea? Also, I use this Prezi to onboard Ss to Genius Hour. https://t.co/5dAdDZEKGn #6thchat

mskaufmanELA Jun 20 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2: Not sure, hoping to get more ideas tonight! #6thchat

MrStevenKerr Jun 20 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A3: 1st model it for Ss and show how it is done, have Ss find their interest and stick to it #6thchat

RunnerGirl13_1 Jun 20 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A3) I came across this AMAZING Genius Hour action research project by @MissDenko, #6thchat. She graciously shared. https://t.co/yFRi4metd3

myles8383 Jun 20 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Not really, but Ss are required to blog about there project weekly. I use the 9 weeks to have a deadline to share. #6thchat

In reply to @RunnerGirl13_1

mrskochheiser - Moderator Jun 20 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Great to model it and even better if former GH Ss can share (via video or in person) their success stories. #6thchat

MrStevenKerr Jun 20 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A3: 1st model it for Ss and show how it is done, have Ss find their interest and stick to it #6thchat

mrskochheiser - Moderator Jun 20 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A4) A few ways: I meet w/Ss, take a status of the class, use Google Forms or use Ask a Question feature on Google Classroom #6thchat

Coltscubs Jun 20 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A4) How are students held accountable for their work? #6thchat

MrStevenKerr Jun 20 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A4:For ours, we had Ss create presentations, and had timeline on when things needed to be completed #6thchat

SamReisman93 Jun 20 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A4: Google Form check-ins through-out the process as well as 1:1 meetings to check on progress #6thchat

myles8383 Jun 20 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3: Share your interests w/ Ss and meet with them often to assist when needed. Refocus Ss on their essential question. #6thchat

TrishKing6 Jun 20 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Haven't done GH yet but w/ #pbl, I conference, use google form reflections, have steps/phases on the board and Ss add their name. #6thchat

Was the timeline S created or T created? #6thchat

In reply to @MrStevenKerr

laura_beck_ Jun 20 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4: I love the idea of weekly blog posts. Ss can have accountability partners to reply to on blog. #6thchat #edmg7080 #edmg7030

RunnerGirl13_1 Jun 20 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A4) Timeline of expectations, a rubric check-in #G-Forms, weekly blog post #G-Sites "How's it going?"specific presentation dates. #6thchat

mrskochheiser - Moderator Jun 20 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Question 4 is on the slide! #6thchat

It was T created, so that we would have time for presentations, as it was during our 4 week rotations. #6thchat

In reply to @SamReisman93

myles8383 Jun 20 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A4: I try to meet 1on1 with each student 3-4 times per project. Also, student blog about their project weekly. Keeps Ps informed #6thchat

I agree. Blogging will help solidify the learning, share with an authentic audience, and incorporate ELA standards as well. #6thchat

In reply to @laura_beck_

SamReisman93 Jun 20 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A5: Work w/ Ss early on to create some sort of rubric that features what you want addressed and what they think should be graded #6thchat

RunnerGirl13_1 Jun 20 @ 9:31 PM EDT

I agree with the teacher developed timeline. But would be willing to modify as needed. #6thchat

A6) I have Ss complete reflection page to self-assess & let me know how they did; I want focus on process, not product. #6thchat

SamReisman93 Jun 20 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A6: I think yes, because some Ss need that grade to get them going. Once they start they may look past it and just research for fun #6thchat

RunnerGirl13_1 Jun 20 @ 9:37 PM EDT

HowardKiyuna Jun 20 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A6: No. Maybe. How do you gr a 6th grd'r who is taking on something to be mastered in HS/College? If product fails is it A or F? #6thchat

RunnerGirl13_1 Jun 20 @ 9:41 PM EDT

That's awesome. Do your paretns make comments on the posts? That would be really powerful. #6thchat

Ms_Mielke Jun 20 @ 9:41 PM EDT

#6thchat - for my Innovation class this next year, going to use @Seesaw for the reflections of Ss - will grade that they deeply reflected

True, but they're familiar with the process by then. #6thchat

A7) I am always concerned about the Ss who struggle w/working in the process; some Ss try to take advantage of the time & not work #6thchat

mrskochheiser - Moderator Jun 20 @ 9:43 PM EDT

Yes! w/genius Hour Ss are learning the process of exploring their ideas & passions. Feedback & self-reflection more impt than grade #6thchat

In reply to @TrishKing6

mskaufmanELA Jun 20 @ 9:43 PM EDT

Could you then grade the effort/attempt? It would depend on what you are looking for/what the project is. #6thchat

In reply to @HowardKiyuna

SamReisman93 Jun 20 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A7: Making sure Ss stay interested in their topic enough to keep working on their project and not stop after 1-2 days #6thchat

Well #6thchat I have to go, have a great night!

Ms_Mielke Jun 20 @ 9:44 PM EDT
