5. Genius Hour

Genius Hour is a fairly new educational technique that allows students to work on
self-paced and self-chosen projects for an hour each day.[5] This encourages
students to practice their creativity and independent thinking skills, and they can
also develop a genuine love of learning. If you’re looking for ways to improve
student engagement in your classroom, genius spaces may be a trend to keep
tabs on.

6. Digital Citizenship

For students, digital citizenship is defined as the ability to use technology and the
Internet both effectively and appropriately. Good digital citizenship is increasingly
necessary, but as assignments and lessons traditionally done in person move
online, students need the skills to develop a healthy relationship with digital
media.
