The article listed above explains how Genius Hour is an effective tool in the classroom setting and how it is growing in popularity throughout other schools. One teacher emphasized on the fact that failure is an option, as long as you learn from it. Allowing the students to know failure is an option, the students take more risks. The article then discusses how they sold the idea of Genius Hour to parents, then students. From my learning in this article, I have more confidence in my Genius Hour Project. I know that to matter what the outcome of my project is, I wont get a bad grade in the class. Genius Hour is based on students completing tasks and using their creativity to make an impact. As long as I do what I am told, and try my best to get a therapy dog in KHS, it wont effect my grade. Even if I don´t successfully get a therapy dog, I will still obtain a learning experience.
