I enjoyed being mentored by Karen at the Genius Educator Certification Program in Bali! Immensely attentive to details and driven to support Genius Educators in their efforts worldwide, Karen's portfolio of monthly webinars and community-management speaks volumes of her dedication to developing mature youth, who then go on to thrive in the 21st Century landscape! Thank you, Karen!

Sally Cope

Karen is a great facilitator and mentor. She takes time to ensure you really understand and addresses any issues. Thank you Karen. Look forward to working with you more.

Lesli Grant

Karen is a key reason I am still here. Genius U’s wonderful complexity can challenge some of us. Karen’s clarity and continued mapping of key places, documents and how to navigate has found me jumping in and “inspired to find”. Lesli Grant

5 Steps to Become a Smarter Learner | A Student-Centred Approach 1. Be an Active Learner: Be active and not passive. Set your intentions. Be open to new ways to learn. Focus on the process, not the content. 2. Be an Inquisitive Learner: Use open-ended questions. Remember, the 5Ws and How. Why? What? Who? When? Where? How? 3. Be a Discerning Consumer: Adopt an inquiry-based approach to learning and dive deep through lateral reading and thinking. 4. Be a Responsible Creator: Know your purpose. Know your audience. Respect your sources. Choose the right medium. Get to the point. 5. Be a Reflective Learner: Take time to reflect on the learning experience, the process, the new knowledge and the impact.

🌍 **𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀** 🌍 Emphasising a student-centered approach, I help learners understand their unique strengths. Exploring examples of young people making a global impact inspires learners to brainstorm meaningful topics they want to investigate. By teaching students how to effectively search for information and introducing them to various tools and databases they gain practical digital literacy skills. Continuous monitoring ensures personalised growth. Check out my blog post that provides more detail ... 📚🔍🎓

Has anyone explored "There's an app for that"? The site currently lists over 13,000 AI apps for all sorts of categories. I discovered the 'School Librarian' section that lists job tasks and against each the number of apps designed to support the task. Overwhelming and fascinating!

School Librarian - There Are 6,194 AIs For That Job

There are 6,194 AIs and 694 AI-assisted tasks for School Librarians. View the full list and take your productivity to the next level.

It’s common for teachers, after students do an individual exploration (for example: reading a short text and marking it up for keywords or questions), to ask them to form groups and compile their thinking on poster paper, which they share with classmates through a gallery walk. Why not try to create a collaborative slide deck where each group takes ownership of their slide and then this becomes a living document.

Using Collaborative Slide Decks to Promote Engagement

With a little bit of prep, teachers can set up a digital version of the popular gallery walk to foster collaboration in the classroom.

Are you tired of feeling like the 'drill sergeant' constantly reminding your child to complete their school work? I've just finished recording a masterclass on using intrinsic motivation to help tweens and teens become more self-directed learners who can take the initiative to set their personal learning goals. Let me know if you'd like to get the link to the recording by sending me a message or comment below - "Send me the link please".
