What is genius hour? Genius hour is a set amount of time in which you pursue an answer to a question that you are passionate about. For students this means that they get to focus on what interests them for a set period during school. Over the next four weeks I will be pursuing my own genius hour. I will seek to answer the question: how can role-playing games be used as a teaching tool in the classroom? Over the next four weeks I will seek to research the discourses on this topic, to curate what seem to be the most effective methods, to create a method to integrate role-playing games into the classroom, and finally to reflect upon the implications of using role-playing games in the classroom. Below I have posted a Google Slide presentation outlining my question, my timeline for this project, and why I am passionate about this. The concept of genius hour is something that I would readily implement into my classroom. There are numerous examples of how it has been used in education so one would not be starved for examples.
