A1 In the past many kinder #geniushour were related to topic units. Questions on Wonder wall narrowed it down Collaborative work

Mrs_Krapels Mar 3 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1: I've only done modified versions with my HS Ss and I pose Qs that are broad and allow for a variety of topics #geniushour

mcnairan3 Mar 3 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1: My Ss ask a question/choose a topic based on their passions/interests. As long as something they WANT to learn, it works. #geniushour

gallit_z - Moderator Mar 3 @ 9:10 PM EST

Will check all the wonderful tweets later #G2Great Joining my PLN at #geniushour (once a month chat)

mcnairan3 Mar 3 @ 9:12 PM EST

I do think that a question helps them find a focus and keep an end goal in mind. #geniushour

Mrs_Krapels Mar 3 @ 9:12 PM EST

@ARutschke that's how I feel, too - I've helped them to dip their toes in by providing EQs and letting them whittle down #geniushour

MaryAvans1 Mar 3 @ 9:12 PM EST

#geniushour our questions start from the unit of study topic and generate to specific questions within

@unruh_j thanks for joining in, Jeff! Do your students to #geniushour topics or questions?

DrJacieMaslyk Mar 3 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1) Start with a topic (elementary grades), then develop Qs to facilitate deeper learning. #geniushour

JenniferKinkoph Mar 3 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1 Start as a topic, then develop into driving ?s. I find they want to answer ?s w/o taking time to think them thru #geniushour

@Jonnai2 thanks for popping in! #geniushour

mcnairan3 Mar 3 @ 9:14 PM EST

@gallit_z Questions definitely help them narrow their focus. Topics often end up w/ too many options, hard to stay the course. #geniushour

ARutschke Mar 3 @ 9:15 PM EST

@Mrs_Krapels The questions seem to be the BIGGEST part of a great GH project. Once they it, they tend to fly😊#geniushour

jcd118 Mar 3 @ 9:15 PM EST

@gallit_z @ARutschke I think it depends on grade and S. #geniushour

DrJacieMaslyk Mar 3 @ 9:15 PM EST

When Ss suggest a broad topic, narrowing the focus + helping them to develop Qs is part of the process. #geniushour https://t.co/T0Q0A3sunm

Looks like we have a mix of both topics and Qs for #geniushour projects! Tonight we are focusing in a bit on questioning....

RaRaPenguin Mar 3 @ 9:17 PM EST

mcnairan3 Mar 3 @ 9:18 PM EST

@unruh_j Learning what they are passionate about is a big part of our #geniushour. Not easy but worth it when they figure it out.

gallit_z - Moderator Mar 3 @ 9:18 PM EST
