Genius Hour #4

Today we didn't have much time to learn new things about our topics because we're learning how to use a variety of useful tools that can help engage students in the classroom. I learned about many new resources but the one that I found was the most useful was storybird. The reason why I like this tool is because you can create your own story using images from actual artists. The images uploaded from the artists are very inspiring which helps in the creativity process and if you don't like a particular picture you have the option of using many others from that artist. Therefore it's very useful when writing a story and trying to come up with clever ideas. I learned today that focus is key to success in the class because it is a very hectic environment with everyone continuously asking questions. I find that if you focus and carefully read the instructions it's much easier to complete the tasks. From here, I will continue to research hamilton's pollution rates to gather enough info. for my Ted Talks to really inform people of Hamilton's pollution situation and hopefully include some useful ideas that everyone can practice to reduce the pollution rate to improve our ecosystems.
