In my classroom over the last few years I’ve shown many Youtube videos to inspire resiliency, grit, hope, and discussion prior to guiding them in the creation of their inquiry questions about their passions and wonders during our weekly Genius Hour time. This post is a follow up post to my post 23 Videos that Sparked Genius Hour Thinking, Collaboration, and Actions. Many of those videos and the ones I am sharing now were shared with me through the wonderful connections I have made with educators learners on Twitter, Facebook, and at workshops. I am continually inspired by the educators in my personal learning network. Thank you to all of you who share your learning and inspirations daily. You have helped me make sense of the ideas that are floating around in my head. I am proud to say that students in my classes are constantly inspiring each other and their teacher. Some of their work is shared on the list below.
Enjoy the list and please share your own favourites.
