Hey all,
Welcome to my blog! My name is Elizabeth, and if you haven't guessed, I am currently a teacher candidate. I am enrolled at Brock University and studying to be an elementary school teacher.
The program itself just started, and I am so excited! It's a newly developed program which is also exciting. The government in Ontario has made it so teacher education programs are now two years instead of one, so the program has been completely re-done. I am really looking forward to how it goes.
During this program, I am required to take a course regarding using technology in education. In this course, we are required to complete a genius hour project. This is a project where I have to pick a topic and ask a question about it. I then have to research it, and find out what I have been asking.
Not only does this project sound like fun for me to complete, but it also sounds like a great thing to do in a classroom. It is definitely something that will promote self-directed learning in students, and really get them thinking about things they are passionate about.
I am including a link that taught me quite a bit about genius hour. It is the official genius hour website. It will provide you with a basic understanding of using this program in a classroom.

I haven't decided on a project topic yet, but I will definitely update you as soon as I do.
