Hello fellow bloggers!
Genius Hour is a great tool to get students engaged in their learning. My Potwoon video below gives great insights for how to start a Genius Hour Project with your students! Powtoon is such a great tool to use. It has so many different layouts and features that allow you to personalize your video any way you want! There are different characters you can input to add a little extra, different images to increase your creativity, and SO much more! I highly recommend it. It is easy to use.. just make sure you remember to save frequently since it does not save on it's own (which is probably the only down side to using Powtoon). I can definitely see myself using Powtoon when I finally have a class of my own. You can use it in math to show different problems and challenge them to solve it. You could use it to represent a "mission" that they have to complete for a persuasive writing piece. The possibilities are endless!!
Here's my first Powtoon (and definitely not my last) to show you about Genius Hour:
If you're feeling adventurous, try using Powtoon on your own and/or with your students to see what they can produce!
