Can school be a place where students come because they are delighted to be there, feeling entrusted with and engaged in their learning?
Not just because “it’s the law” (the answer to one of my student’s recent Ungame question: “What do you think about school?”)
Just one month ago today, I learned about “genius hour”, and now I want school to be more like it. I’m still learning and I have many questions that are being answered as we experiment, but I know my students and I are enjoying school more as a result.
Here is an index of my blog posts inspired by #geniushour, in chronological order.
