Learning Log for November 26th!

       

 What we did in class today:

       Today in class, we looked at the Morris Ward Blog and also their newspaper. We saw that they had shared their inspiration projects with us on the blog so we took a quick look over several of them. Our class is also sharing our genius hour projects with the Australian class so we went to the computer lab to type out our information regarding our genius hour projects. Its basically like a summary and also a feedback form. If we were done our genius hour project, we were told that we could post it on there also so that they can give us some feedback. We included some struggles that we have right now or in the past when working on our projects and we asked them to give us some feedback or advice to help us with our problems.

  Learning Intentions :

          We are sharing our genius hour projects with the Australian class so that we can get lots of peer feedback to make sure our projects are to the best they can possibly be. It helps us with our problem solving skills and it gives us an idea of what other people think of our project. It will also help us reflect on our projects and think of the struggles that we may have had in the process of developing our project. I think it will help us a lot in making our projects better.

   Connections: 

          It connects us to the world and gives us an idea of what people far away from us think of what we are doing. It will help us a lot to know what other people think based on what you have down because they don`t know you personally. It is a skill to develop good sharing habits that we will benefit in the future when we want our work to be flawless. Like in university, when you are writing an essay, you want it to be very good and not have any errors so it is best to have someone check it for you.

  Homework:

       For todays homework, you have to finish up your basic summary of what your genius hour project is about. You should also read and finish your novel by Wednesday! 

  Tips:

  - Put your genius hour summary and peer feedback that you are sending to the Australian class in a Google Doc. so that all the members in your group can work on it and edit it together.
