My plans for next term

We had our last class for the Fall term yesterday...it went really well.  We all shared our field studies and talked about what we have learned this term.  I really enjoy just sitting around with colleagues and talking about teaching...wish there was more time during the week to do this.  

I am thankful that Marlowe gives us time with our cohort to talk....collaboration really is so wonderful.  I learn so much from my fellow teachers.

During the evening I shared what I plan on doing for my next field study:
genius hour and e-portfolios

As I was talking about genius hour and explaining what it is to my group, I got a tweet from a teacher in Massachusetts about how she plans on doing genius hour with her grade 4s..it was such perfect timing as I was in the middle of talking about it myself...twitter is an incredible tool for collaboration too!  

I can't wait to start genius hour with my class next term (in January)


:D

An explanation of what genius hour looks like in a place of business (where this idea originally came from, as far as I know)
