-
So perfectly paired I agree
-
Thank you. I have 12 ipads on the way. Beyond excited.
-
A1 Sherri kinder teacher here from Raleigh NC ... New to ExCiTeD to learn😊
-
A1: Haven't done Genius Hour but I did w my K Ss & they chose their own interests & wonders
-
. my sister did too! she was thrilled!
-
I like to base it off what we are learning about also, but broad enough that they have lots of CHOICE!
-
A1: Simple independent brainstorming ? on paper post-its, then narrowed it down to one idea...consulted with others if needed
-
A2 We modeled with but now Ss are coming up with ?s & chose today
-
Love the idea of using Padlet to get the wondering going!
-
A2:Intro with video & Genius Hr. video . Kids brainstorm
& submit possible ideas in week 1@Seesaw
-
-
A2 I could see Ss record ideas with draw and record or notes then have Ss look at other S posts
-
A2: new to genius hour, I can't answer this, but my vision would be brainstorming, cooperative groups. To make the world better
-
Want to try for wonderings. Have not done it yet.
-
what kinds of things have they researched?
-
A1: Little late but I made it! Angela from OOB, ME. prek, fairly new to
-
A2:ss keep a journal that they write in throughout the day about things they love, r curious about&probs they want 2 solve
-
-
YES! We did that last week and they have great stuff
-
-
Then you ARE doing it! That's how I start also, big stepping point!
-
A2: posting ideas on & putting link on is a great way to share
-
-
So exciting, what are some topics they chose?
-
-
A2. Haven't tried it yet. Love the idea of Wonder Wednesday in K. We've been learning a lot about questions during grdg.
-
-
And that makes it easy to share these!
-
A2 I present broad topic, Ss develop animations in self-formed groups. Seesaw will document progress start-finish each lesson
-
-
Love this! were you teaching a unit on light and ask what do you wonder? How many lessons Before the ?
-
-
-
"What is the best playdough recipe" to "How do I discover a new species of animal?"
-
A2: I could see using for Ss to keep track of their questions/wonders, easy way to come back to what to their thinking
-
Love that site! Link some wonders to to make life easier:)
-
We just finished our light unit, so they had topics on light:electricity, rainbows, mining, cave, fireflies,etc
-
We kept & used My kinders questioning & inquiry skills were so great thanks to this!
-
Is there a certain day or time that you do this in your classroom?
-
-
Yay! Thanks for the encouragement!
-
We are going to do twice a week for 40 minutes for about three weeks
-
A2 Love the idea of a Wonder wall to get the juices flowing!
-
-
Do you keep in paper or electronic format?
-
A2: is amazing for ss to share their ideas, their work, give feedback 2 each other, and reflect on what they learned!
-
-
Genius hour ideas in kindergarten https://t.co/LPkEXJ840j
-
-
"What is the best playdough recipe" to "How do I discover a new species of animal?"
-
In my K room, we are starting in small groups for our 1st round then more indiv for 2nd
-
-
Love this to guide young Ss as whl grp, still having own choice. Easier than how I was starting alone https://t.co/57tH7vpM2r
-
Love the idea of the wonder wall, I am a visual learner and this a great way for all students to see!
-
A2: With Prek, we just did a Playground Design PB project, Ss uploaded their models into to explain ideas/get feedback
-
I didn't put on Blog, but love that Ps can see and Ss can see eachothers, will have to put on blog also
-
A2 we do group projects daily and the SS get to choose the app they will use for creating. We are working towards genius hour!
-
Last year I had a Ss write their ?s on a sticky note and put it on the Wonder Wall.
-
How awesome! This sounds like a great gameplan.
-
A2: Ss can create drawings of what they want to learn more about or do a video to record questions they wonder about the topic.
-
Does anyone have a pic of their wonder wall. Would like more details
-
A2:Ss choose topic around a theme that goes along w our integrative units,most recently was light & now famous buildings/bridges
-
Umm & super helpful to use post it notes to analyze each question. Some were great ?s but heart not there
-
Oh I would love to see a sample
-
-
-
I wonder how we can use folders to help organize projects?
-
You read my mind:) Coming up!
-
-
Paper. Ss could choose to publish by taking a pic or typing their writing on (what we used last year😁)
-
I had the pleasure to observe during her genius hour! Gr8 T to follow! Her management of this was amazing!
-
How cool? Do you have a picture of what that looked like? I can only imagine how neat it looked!
-
-
-
-
I like the video to record, some Ss struggle w/the writing part. https://t.co/7k7ompxYkj
-
-
A2: Ss can create drawings of what they want to learn more about or do a video to record questions they wonder about the topic.
-
Can't wait to read tweets. Running my kids around tonight but love all ideas shared.
-
A2. We haven't tried yet, but I love the idea of a Wonder Wall. Maybe an ongoing Padlet in Seesaw?!
-
-
-
-
-
Don't we know it! Got to make it independent for them. It's their project!
-
A3 if small group have each member post to "student" that is name of topic
-
I painted my heater with chalkboard paint! Ill have to try this!
-
When I teach Ts this is exactly what I encourage them to do! Give Ss choice in what tools they use to create!❤️
-
-
-
so cool! and what a fun learning experience with your Ss!
-
Great place to start! That's how I started beg of year, adding post its to our live wall
-
Love the Wonder Wall and students' accessibility
-
Hi I'm late to the party, but happy to join in! I'm Holly, K-5 STEM Coordinator from FL!
-
And I don't want them to give up on an idea because they can't get it on paper.
-
Love chalkboard paint, very bright!
-
already thinking of a space I can create like this! Unit on matter will be better than ever! https://t.co/fTUE8bEHuw
-
A2 (Pt. 2): Ss can share/represent ideas in multiple multimedia/formats w/ Seesaw. Entry points for all. Feedback from Ts Ss Ps.
-
-
-
A2 I think can help amplify choosing topics or refining questions because Ss can get feedback
-
That would be an awesome starting point, so many choices for Ss
-
-
A3 as the T, you could add links and add them to particular S journals?
-
It's so important to provide the Ss with choices. Some like to use text others recordings.
-
Welcome Holly. You made it!!!
-
-
I stole his idea & it was my fave thing I did last year! So impactful.
-
Great point! And the feedback can come from teachers and also from their peers!
https://t.co/kBu3JtEbnX
-
-
A2 I think can help amplify choosing topics or refining questions because Ss can get feedback
-
Happy to join! I'm a Seesaw Newbie
-
New to how do you manage when every child is doing something different?
-
A3 documenting the research part in EYRS is always tricky. Video of the main points researched and tag with a folder would help
-
That has been so helpful for my Ss, hard to have them search on internet without a certain site,
-
-
-
Sorry I'm late 2 the party! Just catching up and jumping in. We've been reading & reflecting on https://t.co/ROkDH8ngsn
-
A2 connected blogs will help if there are GH projects out there for Ts & Ss to check out and get ideas from
-
A3. We have been adding facts&pictures about animals for a research project to a special folder on Seesaw. ...
-
hi everyone - just joining in and out yes is great for any collaboration
-
I'm starting small with 10 topics shared between two teachers
-
That's a great idea! Then it's right there for them https://t.co/Db0YDMEVQG
-
-
A3 as the T, you could add links and add them to particular S journals?
-
A3: Ts can send a link to a curated research site using .
-
And now I can't wait to steal this idea from you :)
-
Happy to join! Small group special ed teacher. Been implementing since January and love it!
-
I'm just starting to get my mind around how many ways a T could use add research and to the list!
-
Ss get feedback from T, peers, and Ps. If it is on blog, Ss can get blog buddy's feedback too! https://t.co/gIjcj59Bid
-
-
A2 I think can help amplify choosing topics or refining questions because Ss can get feedback
-
A3: is place to record info, store info, reflect, detail progress, learning, organized in Genius Hour folder
-
A3. Students could document their findings with pictures, drawings, and notes and keep their research in a special folder.
-
A3: just learning about seesaw too tonight...oh my, my classroom will never be the same!!
-
what a great idea. Perfect for me to try in k.
-
I see so you give them a selection of topics to start with, then they take it from there.
-
Ss can record their process & findings in to return to. Ts, Ss, and community members can provide feedback
-
A3 Love that can help Ss organize & store all their research with pics and links
-
Yes, adding links so students can easily access files - makes student accessibility so simple.
-
chat and preparing for tomorrow! It's a good night!
-
A3: Ss can record their process & findings in to return to. Ts, Ss, and community members can provide feedback
-
Glad it will work for you!
-
They selected the topics - we had to narrow it down
-
-
A3: It's such a powerful reflective tool. Ts can have Ss synthesize their curated resources & describe challenges/next steps.
-
Better late than never - right? Sophia near Chicago- 2nd grade
-
-
Q3: How can Seesaw help your students with the research part of their Genius Hour projects? https://t.co/XSWyyJxBjo
-
Love that provides this huge audience for Ss to get feedback for their projects https://t.co/NxeBExBVsD
-
-
A3: Ss can record their process & findings in to return to. Ts, Ss, and community members can provide feedback
-
Time to make a folder right now!
-
-
We will take you any time!
-
A3:So easy to share a Google item w Ss. Here is a map for Ss to add points to about their topic
https://t.co/KMHStDHwlY
-
Love - sometimes give them 20 min 2 check site & read anything & share learning on then present 2 class.
-
A3 Just started Genius Hour and have had a lot of fun using the QR feature to link "safe" websites to student ideas.
-
Such a life saver for me, I can prep items for them to get to safely on their own.
-
A3: I LOVE the idea of seesaw folders for each project! I will definitely try it! gr8 way 4 ss to org., reflect&give feedback
-
It can be used as a way for students to reflect on their understanding and store their findings.
https://t.co/mSIt9uyk1v
-
A3:Here isGoogle form shared through , Ss have easy access to give you feedback on their research
https://t.co/FBATQ2V6dd
-
The feedback loop may be most important! What if Ts shared the links w/ expert for review? That feedback may motivate!
-
I also use YouTubekids app 4 research.Like to use mic to search. Always check it 1st to see what they'll see.
-
I'm just throwing out some samples for you to take a look at when you get a chance!
-
A3: is a great way to keep ideas, drafts and final copy of projects in a safe place where Ts, Ss and Parents can access
-
I also throw links to youtube videos into safesharetv 1st then put into so no ads show
-
sorry I'm late! Pauline from Maine, tech integrator k-5.
-
A4: Ss could use to record questions and send/share with experts/community to help research
-
Have you ever heard of Kiddle? I have been using it with my K Ss this week &they are doing amazing safe searches!
-
A3. Going to add links to videos and books on that kids are interested in for research project on animals.
-
I also started to add QR codes onto the front of Informational Text books - so Ss start with 2 resources off the bat!
-
A3: It can be used as a way for students to reflect on their understanding and store their findings.
https://t.co/mSIt9uyk1v
-
A2 &3: I LOVE that groups of Ss working together can post work to all of their feeds. Genius !!
-
-
Now we are thinking globally and building authentic feedback! Seesaw Blogs could do this, too!
-
So smart to have a list to choose from so you can better support them.
-
A3: T can also upload pre-watched/approved videos for ss to watch in that folder to help them!
-
I did try that, but then I was seeing something negative about it, its not connected to Google???
-
The collaborative nature of "tagging" posts allows Ss to work as team for projects.
-
A3: I love that Ss can organize their work on seesaw, but also offer feedback to each other via the class feed once published.
-
-
Whoa! I need to do that before Monday! Where does the QR code that them? Another book
-
Does your dis block YouTube, if so, does Safeshare allow Ss to access them?
-
No, but I put them into SafeShareTV so ads go away
-
A3:great place to store content,Ss did a session wSs in Canada to learn more about their topic,Ss teaching Ss,love it!
-
Can you tell me more about the QR codes? Thanks trying to get started with this!
-
Got hung up with parents. Checking in.
-
you like that! lol 😉 - Joy is a MUST follow for resources!
-
There truly are so many. I show Ts in my dist & I always think we just scratched the surface!
-
That I'm not for sure on.I got it from another teacher so tested it out this weekend & have been very impressed so far
-
I've had students Skype with a class in Australia. They each had presentation time to share what they were learning
-
-
I was impressed to and didn't have any problems, also have used KidRex.
-
So many fantastic ideas. Thanks for sharing.
-
I'm learning so many things! Must try this ASAP
-
We talked with Ss in Canada, it was great learning
-
Did not know I could do that! So helpful for Prek, will have to look into that
-
-
I will have to check out KidRex!
-
-
Hi Everyone. Just popping in to share. BigEast BB night :) Below link to animal Padlets I made for Ss GH https://t.co/3Af6WVIFej
-
I use safesharetv for almost all my videos. So much better to view. https://t.co/8cdCZNc954
-
-
I also throw links to youtube videos into safesharetv 1st then put into so no ads show
-
Loved all your QR stuff! Constantly amazed by all you can do with
-
A3: Parents can easily help their Ss and encourage conversations around the topic at home.
-
-
Hi Susan! Always great to see you! First trooper too!
-
The home-school connection piece will work wonders to bring Ps into their Ss project...guiding good discussion & help
-
-
-
I just started showing primary Ts how easy it is to use the link feature to send links to Ss! So cool!
-
Similar, but I did like that Kiddle seemed to be more visual.
-
That is something I am excited about to have Ps involved in the learning!
-
A4 Ss can put their process into the genius hour folder in . Doc project and reflections
-
-
Student folder unique to each student to house links and research articles.
-
Through Twitter, sent out a request to my PLN and another T replied, we connected Ss up to chat,
-
Q4: keeps everything organized!
-
There is another called Kid Rex that's good, too.
-
I find videos that enrich topic knowledge, create a QR code, copy to a label, add to back of book
-
With the new "print" feature in QR codes are generated for items too
-
-
I am adding Google Junior Search to my list to check out! Thanks!
-
we will need to check out KidRex and Safesharetv!
-
- we may need to check these out for animal reports
-
The different folders will def. help with organizing all of their ideas, thoughts, questions etc.
-
A4: For me is place where they share process, reflection & important parts of topic; Final project is uploaded too
-
A4: Looking forward to using w/ . I'll let my Ss show me the way w/ this one so process stays authentic.
-
Haven't heard of that, will try that also.
-
A4 I also like that Ss can just sort and see their folder too - Ts too
-
-
Think globally. My rural kids r in a "global classroom" w/4th graders in Finland. I have class Acct & Global class acct
-
A4: Paper gets lost because there's so much of it. I love the digital-ness of . Student work is accessible anywhere.
-
Genius! 😜 Sorry, I can't help saying that about all these amazing ideas when talking GH https://t.co/QitUyQMwcH
-
-
Hi Everyone. Just popping in to share. BigEast BB night :) Below link to animal Padlets I made for Ss GH https://t.co/3Af6WVIFej
-
Thank you! Such a great idea!
-
A4: Ss keep everything organized in their own digital folder with , but allows for global feedback if Ts want to share
-
For sure, and easy to share via blog, Ps, the WORLD:)
-
Great point! will help parents to know about the project every step of the way!
-
YES! My Ss were in a global class with India, N Ireland, and Canada https://t.co/Y1ryg2NMQA
-
-
Think globally. My rural kids r in a "global classroom" w/4th graders in Finland. I have class Acct & Global class acct
-
-
Me too. Now I just have to calm down and take baby steps. I'm not so good at that. https://t.co/3WLgHGLUMe
-
-
I'm learning so many things! Must try this ASAP
-
-
Tell me more!!! What do you do with the global account?
-
-
Kiddle is also an amazing kid friendly search engine!
-
That has been such a huge eye opener this year, Ps know everything we do, its great!
-
A4 a folder called "I need help" for students to give automatic feedback to teacher
-
Keeping parents informed is key!! Love it!
-
-
Have not heard of this, how does the global account work?! Awesome!!
-
Has anyone tried for a search engine? You can choose the reading level!
-
-
-
Do you put posts into folders or do your kids know where to put them?
-
would love to learn how to add QR codes.
-
Absolutely! Love getting Ps involved. Ss love the feedback from Ps. We love https://t.co/Lrk1db67Yf
-
-
Great point! will help parents to know about the project every step of the way!
-
-
A4: is a tremendously metacognitive process. Efficient storage + easy access = less stress, more focus on process.
-
-
Love this! Great self reflection to improve on their growth mindset!
-
Love this idea :) https://t.co/X7WwQmee1x
-
-
A4 a folder called "I need help" for students to give automatic feedback to teacher
-
I linked the Paddlet to and they could add it that way,
-
thank you!! I had no idea!
-
A4 I also have a folder called See Me for a New Goal to keep a record i can easily access by clicking the folder
-
It is so amazing what comes out of this time, its only an hour a week, but soft skills & other learning happen
-
I'm' getting to the point where I want them to put them in the right folder, we are getting there
-
How many weeks do they follow same project?
-
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
-
do your projects carry over for several weeks?
-
Print in makes QR codes for a post. Outside of seesaw there are lots of ways-I use qrstuff
-
It depends, thought the last one would be 6, but ended with about 8, didn't want to rush it, they needed more time
-
-
Q5: When it’s time for your students to share their knowledge, how can we use Seesaw to help with this? https://t.co/6wr7pe0XvG
-
do you guys have it running every week throughout the year? I love the idea of it!
-
I can send you a Google Doc outlining my plan later
-
For someone like me who is brand new to GH, any good resources on getting started?
-
I am sure color coding helps?
-
You are better than me! I keep everything in the same folder! Working on just assigning it to our own name
-
Once they pick a topic/question, what is the first day like. Prepping myself for that...
-
-
Depends, our last one was 8 weeks, but that's just 1 hour a week & they were intensive proj
-
If you could include me, that would be great! Thank you!
-
A4 I love for storing projects BC gives simple access for SS to see & positively comment on others work-more meaningful
-
thanks for sharing! awesome
-
My kids spend about 8 weeks on project. We don't do it all year long; so far only twice a year.
-
-
I would love to DM you and get more info on how you use it
-
-
-
A5: Flexibility! Ss can demonstrate learning w/ analog & multimedia elements. The only limitation is a Ss own creativity.
-
A5: Allow Ss choice of apps to use to create project & share on . Ex:
-
Yes, that's the plan. Instead of 22 different topics, each teacher might support 5
-
A5:Students connect their devices to the Smartboard and share their projects/learning/ideas!
-
pm me for details. Find foreign T using - create joint class. Only use 1st names.
-
I haven't ventured to folder world yet either 😁
-
A5: With the variety of tools has to offer, Ss can present their knowledge in unique ways that fits individual learners
-
Can you tell me more? How do they pick a topic? How often do you spend on it a day? Thank you!
-
A5: The drawing, video, and link feature can all offer ways for Ss to share their genius!
https://t.co/pm7PbaAxTY

-
Q5: When it’s time for your students to share their knowledge, how can we use Seesaw to help with this? https://t.co/6wr7pe0XvG
-
A5 Appsmashing! Anything that goes to camera roll can then be posted in . Then post to blog. QR code 4 hallway audience
-
-
I try to think about what each S will need, create a schedule for myself to get to Ss, have resources ready for them
-
-
A5. Using the video & camera with voice record to explain. App smashing with . Then viewing & commenting on other Ss.
-
A5 I love what suggested with sharing blog post with experts for review!
-
I have small group special ed. We do 20 minutes daily to reinforce procedures and keep projects consistent.
-
And those soft skills only come with practice. So important for their future. https://t.co/bzZrSs1Q9K
