This semester I have chaged my topic and begun a partnership. Because I have deiced to create and sell bow to raises money, I have started to create designs. Michaella and i have disscused colors and materials, also the expence of start up. At this point the most challenging aspect is trying to find a charity or cause to donate to. We have a few ideas in mind but are not decided yet.
I plan to change my genius hour project because I have completed my goal of becoming more organized. This semester I will teach my team how to make bows. My over all goal is to make and sell bows to turn a profit.
After looking at students blog posts that participated in 20 time, I have realized I need to spend more of my own free time working in my project. The one hour a week of class is not enough to really get things done.
If I spend more time doing my project now, I will not have to cram in the future. Not only will I save energy later, but my project will also be of better quality. I have not yet created the social media page for my project. This is my goal for the week. I have collected some tips and tricks and tracked the resources. What kinds of ideas about presentation skills did you think about as Sir Ken Robinson presented his ideas about education? How could you incorporate what you saw into your own TED talk? Mr. Sir Ken Robinson, during his TED Talk, used humor to interest his viewers. His bit of comic relief added a fun characteristic to what would be an other wise bland presentation. Sir Ken Robinson used personal examples as well as humor to make his presentation linked to a daily real life person. How did Sir Ken Robinson's talk resonate with you? how Might/might not Genius hour support ken Robinson's ideas about how to change education. Sir Ken Robinson gives examples of modern educational standards. He feel it is unfair to test unlike children on like topics. Must like it is not well you test a fish on its ability to climb a tree. As high school students, we are all very individualized. Our genius hour project allows us to explore and learn abut a topic that interests us and relates to our lives. Genius hour is a break from conformity normally common core learning.
What has been your most helpful resource in your genius hour project? The resource i have found most helpful is not only the personal experiences of others i have found on the internet, but also personal experiences of my own. With the topic of organization, not one person is the same. each persons techniques need to be personalize for them. For example, some people my deal better with numeral labeling rather than colors or words. I have found though, that most benefit from colors because they are easily separated.
I benefit most from organizing in periods of time. During school hours I separate activities into each hour. During the summer or weekends, I separate events into three categories, Morning, noon, and Night. If you had an unlimited amount of time and funds to make your genius hour project all it could be, what would it look like? If I had an unlimited amount of resources to invest in my genius hour project, I would build on what I have already done. I would create a beautiful website. The website would contain endless tips, tricks, and advice. Not only would it include everyday organization advice but also speacilized tips.
What excites you most about your genius hour project?I am excited to learn new way to be organized and also to share the tips i learn. Organization will not only make my student life easier but also organization can help to release stress in other areas of life. What concerns you most about your genius hour project?I am concerned that i may not be able to find all the information i need in one hour a week. I will, however, take time out of class to work on the assignment. I will log on at lease four times a week. What Progress have you made so far with your progress?I have not made much progress but today i plan to research tips to include in my final project. By using the internet i plan to gather several tips each week to post online. I may also include benefits and other aspects of organization.
