Week 1: Genius Hour Blog

Hello everyone! Welcome to my Genius Hour Blog. 

My name is Monica Binotto and I am in my fifth year of Concurrent Education. I am a Brock Teacher Candidate at the the Hamilton Campus. I'm in Junior Intermediate and my teachable is Physical Education.

A Genius Hour Blog is a way for students and teachers to explore and share topics they are passionate about. It allows students to have a choice and be creative in what they are learning in the classroom. Students investigate a topic and consequently do a project on what they are interested in learning about. They will then spend many weeks researching and learning about the topic. At the end, the project will be shared with the class.

Is it possible to increase my speed while sprinting if a track four times a week for one hour?

The goals for my project are to increase my speed and overall fitness over the course of four weeks.
I will measure my success by timing myself during each workout. As a result, I will be able to determine if my speed increases over time. I will measure my fitness by measuring my heart rate both at work and at rest.

I have a lot of experience with running as I am on the track team at Brock and am well versed in the sport. For my next steps, I plan to look into the actual times and reflect on them.
