One last Tool Project to be presented today.
Genius Hour Project Brainstorming:
- Share with your group what potential topics you are going to explore. If you haven't had a clear idea yet, skim the following two reports to see if there is something interesting to you.
Here are some sample topics explored by previous EDIT 2000 students:
Bridging the technology gap in teaching
Advantages and disadvantages of online learning
How can AI facilitate education?
How can technology be used in special education classrooms?
What motivates children to learn STEM?
How can technology improve school safety?
Standardized test cheating scandals
- Discuss with your group why you are interested in your topic, how it is related to Learning, Design, and Technology.
- Give each other suggestions or recommendations. Refine your topic if necessary.
- On an index card, write down your name, your topic, and a brief explanation.
Creating a Genius Hour Page:
- Add a new page "Genius Hour" to your portfolio site and publish it. It's an empty page now. You'll add 5 blog posts to it throughout the semester.
- What we have discussed just now will help you write the first post. See more details about the Genius Hour Project.
- Start your research as soon as possible.

I'll send reminders via Remind on Wednesday morning.
HOMEWORK:
