This video below was shared with me by a colleague as a starting point for "Genius Hour" in a classroom. I like the layout that is described and the supporting links that are provided. I especially appreciated that post regarding students who aren't sure about where to begin. "Don't Blame the Student" really made me think about the lack opportunities for students to follow their interests and motivations within school. I like the idea of getting students who are "stuck" to help out with a personal project - I've used helping our local food bank as a topic. Once students realized that there are an infinite number of ways to help others, the ideas became quite diverse.
