This past week we have started our passion projects, which are inspired by Genius Hour.

For our project, we are using Nearpod and Flipgrid, and our entire Passion Project unit can be found at https://share.nearpod.com/ejkbuxjW2K.

I just discovered Nearpod, and I absolutely love it. Not only can you create lessons on it, but there are a ton already made that you can use for lessons.

Feel free to use it in your own classroom.

Our topics and what we are researching can be found at Flipgrid using the code 1152d0.

This week students developed their topics, created KWL charts with what they already know and want to know about their topics and created a goal for themselves. Some even began their research and filling in their learned section on their KWL’s. Each student did their own KWL. In the next lesson we will be creating a class rubric together for scoring of the projects.
