The Genius Hour Portfolio
As part of an exciting course requirement for EDBE 8Y08 (Teaching Digital Learners in the Digital Age), teacher candidates are required to compose a Genius Hour Portfolio that will document their practice of a specific activity.For my Genius Hour Project, I have chosen to report on my experiences with implementing stress management strategies over the course of a four week time frame. Please see my Genius Hour Project Proposal below for a more detailed outline of my guiding question, proposed timeline, and a rationale of my motivation for pursuing my chosen activity.

I strongly encourage the use of Powtoon given its engaging, creative, and innovative features. This software will most definitely enhance your designated tasks!

Embedded below is my Genius Hour Ted Talk that provides a summary of my Genius Hour story and some of the key lessons I learned, particularly growth mindset and taking time out of the academic day to focus on your physiological responses to stress! As a participant in my Genius Hour project, I very much look forward to implementing such projects in my future classroom to motivate students pursue their passions, succeed in all that they do, and take ongoing risks in their learning.

ReplyDeleteHi Palmina,
ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent and creative blog you have created! It is evident that through your Genius Hour topic, you have not only learned about the various meditation means, but you have also learned about ways to improve your stress levels. I believe that each activity you have completed are great strategies that can be used to improve one's mental health. I like how you displayed your journals and reflections through Canva. I am curious to learn if completing four tasks each week was a challenge for you?
Well done!
