Use Thrively to Kickoff Genius Hour

Really great learning happens when things get a little messy. As a homeroom teacher, I like that. But, there is a delicate balance between messy learning and learning that turns into a mess. My goal is to keep learning meaningful and fun for my students while also manageable for me. Though I was always pulled to Genius Hour, part of me felt pushed away from it at the same time. I knew my students would LOVE researching their interests, but my worry was that they would all miraculously have the same interest: Minecraft! I wanted my students to push past that to find an abundance of authentic interests, and in turn have meaningful learning experiences. Thrively helped me to do just that!
