Digital Media for the Classroom




While searching for a YouTube video to bring to my blog I came across this amazing video of a 2nd grade teacher and her students.

This was the first time I had heard of the Genius Hour and I have to say that I truly love this idea. The incorporation of this idea into the classroom can be an amazingly powerful tool to expand a child's learning beyond the classroom. Having something they can research and create independently can excite and encourage students to learn on their own. The big concern with activities like the Genius Hour in the classroom is the ability to lose control of the students because they are all working on completely different activities all at the same time.
