Blog Post 1/12
Hey guys!
This is your last full blog... Take a minute to let that sit in. Tomorrow you will present your Genius Hours and you can do one final Genius Hour Reflection Blog...
You also have your Podcast project due tomorrow. Share your document with me via Google when you're finished.
Also, if you haven't completed the survey from yesterday regarding the HD class please do so:

Today's blog is a little different... I graduated from High School in 2005, and one of the most intriguing things that stood out to me was this Commencement Address from 2005 to the graduates of Stanford by Steve Jobs. It's about 15 Minutes long, but it's worth the watch. Especially as we wind out time down together these words tend to be good life advice for you. So here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF8uR6Z6KLc and here's the transcript.
Here are the questions for today's blog...
What is the first story that Jobs tells?
Why did Steve Jobs drop out of college?
What does Jobs say about dots?
How old was Jobs when he started Apple?
What was the best thing that ever happened to Steve Jobs?
What does Jobs say you have to do?
What destination do we all share?
What is Job's advice to do with time?
What is Job's final wish to the graduates?

Happy Return!
Updates for Today (You can tell it's a two hour delay day)
You're Podcast is due on Friday... Don't forget. You won't have the ability to turn it in late.
I need you to do two things today, your blog and this survey.

In addition, I've updated your semester long Genius Hour Grade... it helped most of you but it may have been sad for you. Your Genius Hour Blogs do add up. You have 1 left, keep in mind your presentation accounts for 60% of that grade... Which is due either tomorrow or Friday. At this point, you cannot make up your Genius Hour Blogs... with the exception of last Friday's blog.
Here's your blog for today:

GH Blog Post 1/6
Hey guys!
Today I'm going to ask you to write a blog a little longer than normal. It's the reflective blog on the Genius Hour. I want you to tell me what you thought about the project, whether it was successful, what you'd change, and pretty much anything else you'd like to tell me. I'll post a few questions below to get you started, you don't have to answer all of them, but I want a clear reflection of what you thought of the project?
What ways do you think you need to improve?
What problems did you encounter?
What resources did you use?
How do you feel about this? What did you like? What didn't you like?
Did this project meet your standards?
What did you learn about yourself during the Genius Hour Project?
What grade would you give yourself? Why?
One thing I'd like to improve upon moving forward is...
What would you like to spend more time on during school?
Do you think this is a good project? Why or Why not?
