ABSTRACT

This chapter plans to create a hashtag (#) for the school. The school's hashtag will be the common thread that connects all posts on social media to the school. Purposeful and timely use of the vision and mission will reinforce its value to the school community. After students get to know the vision and mission, the students can be asked to choose the keywords in each. Putting the hashtag in a profile will direct anyone who searches for that hashtag to that account. Genius Hour has been used as the final rotation of the intervention schedule for the year. Students get to choose research projects based on their interests and passions and then create a product or solution related to their research question. Creating the school's hashtag is a collaborative experience. It grows out of one's strategic planning work on the vision and mission of the school.
