Author's note: Since the prompt for blog post #2 detailed a specific audience/scenario, I decided to have a little fun with it...😊
Now that I've had my first class in this course, I feel as though I have some - but not enough - clarity on the differences between assessment, evaluation and reporting. I know that all three are connected, but different.
One thing I have learned throughout my Genius Hour Project is that an overwhelming number of edutainment games are directed at children between the ages of preschool and grades two and three. I never noticed this before - while games certainly do exist for older students, I didn't realize that there were a lot less than those directed at younger students.
I'm familiar with the idea of Google Cardboard - I actually have a Cardboard viewer around my house somewhere - but somehow, until recently, I'd managed to not hear about Google Expeditions.
Google Expeditions are, essentially, a futuristic and lower-budget field trip. I say lower rather than just low because the materials per-student are still not cheap...sort of. Let me explain.
Just a quick post to announce that I've completed both my Genius Hour Intro Video and my Genius Hour Movie Trailer!
Thank you very much to Zack for acting in the trailer!
The two videos can be viewed on the Intro and Trailer pages of this website, or below.
Until next time,
😊 Morgan
