As students are researching their projects they increase ability to use computers and use the internet properly. They are also building on their literacy skills as they read through literature, pull information that relates to their projects and making notes. Many students have chosen ideas that relate to creating video games, making movies and animals with they idea that they will tie it to math, literacy and science curriculum.
We began by watching introducing students to the idea of Genius Hour by watching this inspiring video, "You get to have your own genius hour." Students then developed their wonder and why they want to learn more about this.
We then had our own Shark Tank where students came and pitched their idea. They received feedback from their peers for how they can make their projects even better. Students are encouraged to work on their projects at home as well!

As we continue working on our project each week we will share our process on Twitter. Make sure to follow us @ronsouthern45
