In March of 2012, Denise Krebs and I co-hosted our very first #geniushour chat on twitter. I was so nervous. I didn’t know if anyone would show up...but they did! Since then we have had 67 chats over the past 6 years. Those chats are amazing! So many people join in now, from all over the world, to share their genius hour successes, advice, and to ask the group for advice. We have had amazing guest hosts and have covered a wide variety of Genius Hour related topics. Our chats on the first Thursday of each month at 6 pm pacific/9 pm eastern.
Currently all of our archives are on our wiki: geniushour.wikispaces.com. Unfortunately all of that data is about to be deleted, as wikispaces and storify (the program we used for most of the archives) are both shutting down. So Denise and I are trying our best to re-archive and post about some of those 67 chats. We don’t have time to re-archive all of them as it is a lengthy process but we are working on it over the next couple of weeks.

So where are all these old archives going? And where will the new ones go? We have a new tab on our book site: geniushourguide.org for all things related to the monthly #geniushour chat. As of August 1, 2018 the wiki will be shut down and everything will be on geniushourguide.org.
For a teeny bit longer you can look at all of the old archives on the wiki.
It feels like the end of an era. Geniushour.wikispaces.com was the internet’s very first website devoted to Genius Hour. Now there are so many. Which is great, but I am sad to lose all of the work we put into the original wiki. We will try to save what we can.

Our wiki was even nominated for an award 2 years in a row!
Did you have a favourite chat over the years? Let me know and I will try to make sure we re-archive that one!
