JillWebs Feb 27 @ 9:09 PM EST

A1: I'm curious how Genious hour would work in a MS class that meets every-other day. Should passion proj just be included in PBL? #ksedchat

lgmorton210 Feb 27 @ 9:09 PM EST

Genius hour interests me because it's creative and innovative #KSedchat

LaBarberaGlenda Feb 27 @ 9:09 PM EST

A1 It's about the students!!! #ksedchat

I do know that I hope my kids' Ts do Genious Hour with them...A passion will help keep kids make good decisions later! #ksedchat

QuickSMSD Feb 27 @ 9:17 PM EST

One key is they drive asking the questions, you help refine with them. Assignment has parameters going in, but flexible to Ss need #ksedchat

MrReedsscience Feb 27 @ 9:17 PM EST

Haven't used this before. Sounds increasing.#ksedchat

GCHSpe Feb 27 @ 9:17 PM EST

Q2 How do you help Ss find meaningful driving questions to explore? #KSedchat

lgmorton210 Feb 27 @ 9:18 PM EST

Never done genius hr but I assume each project would make me have questions. From there I would ask the Ss how they would evolve #KSedchat

Toothpick_Bevis Feb 27 @ 9:18 PM EST

A2: Any connections between subjects and real life helps get them digging deeper #ksedchat

DDellere Feb 27 @ 9:18 PM EST

A2: Ss start with an explore sheet to get the juices flowing, have former Ss talk, 1-1 conversations, and parent involvement. #ksedchat

mrvesco - Moderator Feb 27 @ 9:18 PM EST

A2: To get the ideas flowing, I show and tell about other projects students have created throughout the years. #ksedchat

Rantime Feb 27 @ 9:18 PM EST

A2: asking deeper questions about what they are interested about. Go deeper and become a "genius" on your project and knowledge #ksedchat

Q4: Hardest part? How do you overcome? #Ksedchat

QuickSMSD Feb 27 @ 9:31 PM EST

A3 I treat it as part of the curriculum - nothing special, just an expectation that it is tied to curriculum. #ksedchat

mrsblank09 Feb 27 @ 9:31 PM EST

misszeisler Feb 27 @ 9:32 PM EST

A4: Having 25 very different projects at the SAME TIME! Schedule conferencing times with Ss. I meet with some Ss before school! #ksedchat

Q3:everyone I have talked to is on board w/Genius Hour! Who doesn't want to allow kids choices while still hitting all standards!#ksedchat

QuickSMSD Feb 27 @ 9:32 PM EST

A4 hardest part is making a rubric that captures essentials of the curriculum and creativity/subjective aspects. #ksedchat

mrvesco - Moderator Feb 27 @ 9:32 PM EST

A4: Finding time in the schedule is the hardest part for me. #ksedchat

MrsJessCochran Feb 27 @ 9:32 PM EST

lgmorton210 Feb 27 @ 9:33 PM EST

I think the hardest part in encouraging students to dig deeper after they have convicted themselves that it's an easy A project #KSedchat

AmandaBuethe - Moderator Feb 27 @ 9:33 PM EST

Getting Qs! I want @misszeisler to come to my room on launch day and refine my Ss Qs while I observe and learn! 😁#ksedchat

A4. Keeping students focused and not surface level topic jumping. Being involved and encouraging them to dive deeper. #ksedchat

misszeisler Feb 27 @ 9:30 PM EST

Q4: Hardest part? How do you overcome? #Ksedchat

perezhasclass Feb 27 @ 9:34 PM EST

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT! #ksedchat

Q4: getting started is the hardest job for my 3rd graders- not creating "right there" questions #ksedchat

Rantime Feb 27 @ 9:35 PM EST

A4: giving up control and getting Ss to think deeper. Giving up control is easier now; give driving questions when Ss struggle #ksedchat

  Q4: Hardest part? How do you overcome? #Ksedchat

GCHSpe Feb 27 @ 9:35 PM EST

Now finding a way to implement it into the class room #ksedchat

I struggle to see it working well well in my class. I have 120 students & we don't meet everyday. It's a little overwhelming #ksedchat

MrsJessCochran Feb 27 @ 9:36 PM EST

Some s aren't quite what to done at first when you give them more control either #ksedchat

In reply to @Rantime

MrReedsscience Feb 27 @ 9:36 PM EST

Similar to PBL, most difficult is to step out of comfort zone, not afraid to try something new. #ksedchat

Q5: This is a BIG QUESTION. Do you grade? Do you not? #ksedchat

MrsRJHill_RM109 Feb 27 @ 9:39 PM EST

A4: Convincing my 3rdgraders that just because they found 1 answer, doesn't mean they stop looking for more. #ksedchat

iammrsnix Feb 27 @ 9:40 PM EST

A4: kids that don't get passionate, don't want to work hard, try to finish super quickly, don't try their best #ksedchat

misszeisler Feb 27 @ 9:40 PM EST

Super important! #ksedchat

perezhasclass Feb 27 @ 9:34 PM EST

A4: Setting expectations for presentation the first couple of rounds. Ss were used to working in groups and sharing the workload. #ksedchat

mrvesco - Moderator Feb 27 @ 9:40 PM EST

A5: I do not grade. We just share out to the world! #ksedchat https://t.co/gBgv9Ds6s8 https://t.co/VpVJLRfQno

mrsblank09 Feb 27 @ 9:40 PM EST

A5: I grade as a participation grade, have been times, that once a S presents I ask them to dig and to add more, S always willing #ksedchat

misszeisler Feb 27 @ 9:40 PM EST

AMEN! My 5th graders as well! #ksedchat

A5 project graded on rubric, usually a paper component also graded. Tough to grade creativity though! #ksedchat

MrsJessCochran Feb 27 @ 9:41 PM EST

A5: Participation grade for each session and how much they accomplished. I give them a grade on public speaking presentation #ksedchat

DDellere Feb 27 @ 9:42 PM EST

A4 After-school and as long as they follow the rules I want it to be about what passionate about with no restrictions like grades. #ksedchat

iammrsnix Feb 27 @ 9:42 PM EST

frustrating as a T bc you want to force them to stick with it but in the long run that won't be successful #ksedchat

In reply to @misszeisler

lgmorton210 Feb 27 @ 9:42 PM EST

I think I would grade the depth of the questions and the answers that students arrive at. #KSedchat

perezhasclass Feb 27 @ 9:42 PM EST

A5: I used #geniushour as evidence of research and presentation skills. #ksedchat

drewyams Feb 27 @ 9:42 PM EST

A5. No grades. Students goal set and self reflect. This allows for more freedom. #ksedchat

LemarrTreadwell Feb 27 @ 9:45 PM EST

#KSedchat In place of grade provide opportunity for authentic audience. 4th graders go to 3rd and 2nd grade and share

misszeisler Feb 27 @ 9:45 PM EST

Q6: Share out a #GeniusHour success story or two! #ksedchat
