Author, Angela Maiers, states that every student is curious about something and is quite passionate about it. It is up to adults in their lives to allow that passion to flourish....that means we as teachers need to encourage them. Genius Hour is that regular time during class where students can pursue their dreams and passions. Who started this idea? Google, not surprisingly. Out of that opportunity to explore, Gmail and Google News were born. This article is so very inspiring that classroom teachers everywhere will want to have their own Genius Hour.
