*Describe the progress you've made this semester on your Genius Hour project. So far I have thought of a couple ways to do this project. I want to take pictures of the best projects I have made in my graphics class and put them on my page. I plan on decribing each project, as far as what programs I have used, what caused me to make the projects, and what tools I had used. I have a couple of projects set aside to use on my site, I made a seperate page for just my projects. *What is the most challenging aspect of your project so far? So far I haven't come across any challenges other than choosing what projects I want to put on my site. Q: What did you learn from perusing the blogs of other students participating in Genius Hour/20 Time? How can you use what you have learned to impact your
Q:
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? How did Sir Ken Robinson talk resonate with you? How might/might not Genius Hour support Ken Robinson's ideas about how to change education? A: I like how he used humor throughout his presentation, it kept me interested. Describe the most useful resource you have found to help you develop your Genius Hour project
Whenever I had searched my topic on the internet, the source WIkipedia had always popped up, other sources hadn't really given me the wide variety of information like I was looking for, it was all basically repetitive information. Which really doesn't do much to help my research. If I spent more time looking for sources that would give me what I was looking for, my project would be more successful I believe. What I am generally saying is that I do not have one set useful resource at this moment when I should. Be honest, how could you use you Genius Hour time more effectively? In all honesty I could use my time more effectively by finding more sources other than Wikipedia, which is the source that always pops up. I could spend more time researching more subtopics on marine biology rather than just the term marine biology. I could search information on Sea Otters or Sea Turtles, for example. Marine biology is about all marine life, so to use my time more effectively, I could broaden my areas of research. To use my time more effectively I could minimize the distractions. I always find myself having trouble focusing due to being easily distracted. If I could find ways to help myself focus more on this project, I could achieve more of the goal I had set for myself to learn a lot about marine biology. Blog Topic :
If you had an unlimited amount of time and funds to make your Genius Hour project all it could be, what would that look like? With unlimited time and money, I'm sure my Genius Hour project would be more successful than it would be without a lot of time and money. With unlimited time, there is unlimited time to research the topic, which means more information to share with the viewers of the person's webpage. With unlimited money, the person could pay to visit places where Marine Biology is shown or researched. Unlimited time would be more important to me for my research. I have been using the Genius Hour time in class only, but if there was unlimited time all the time I feel like my research would be more beneficial than it would be if I only did research during Genius Hour. With unlimited money I feel like taking tours of aquariums would be beneficial to my research because I would be learning background history or the sea life personally, rather than just getting/posting research that i read online. Q: What excites you most about your Genius Hour Project?
A: I am excited to learn more about the ocean, and more about the sea life involved in it. I don't know a whole lot about the ocean, even though it interests me, so I chose to research Marine Biology. I am excited to learn where certain sea life live, how they feed, and how they survive. Q: What concerns you most about your Genius Hour Project? A: My concerns for my Genius Hour project is that I won't find as much information as I hope to, that I would relearn everything I already know without gaining new information. I know that there a lot of sites about Marine Biology, and that there's a lot of research on it, but it is just a concern of mine. Q: What progress have you made so far with your project? A: Truthfully, I haven't made much progress so far. I have looked online a little bit, but I haven't spent a whole lot of time researching like I should have. I had intended to already have found some websites with a good amount of research for this project. |
