Hello to my readers! Today in class we explored further into the concept of Genius Hour and I got a chance to formulate a Genius Hour question I would like to explore. My question is: what are the benefits of participation on extracurricular school sports for students? I would like to look at this not only from an academic perspective, but also social and how it aids in the overall development of the student. My goal for this project of exploration is to find out more information about how athletics can help students grow in the classroom and provide them with valuable life lessons. I would also like to share this information to those worried about getting involved in athletics in fear it will harm their academic performance. With this I hope to grow student participation in sports because I believe it helps in their development as a student. Since this is a research based question I think I can measure my progress by the amount of research I collect. I can also measure my progress by how I am developing in the formulation of a stance I will take on this subject. I am excited to take on this project because I was a student and varsity athlete throughout my academic career and would like to understand how this can help me in the classroom. As a coach, I am also motivated to be able to share this information with my players to encourage them to keep participating in athletics.
We also got a chance in class today to work on this Genius Hour question using Google slides and developing a proposal as to the steps and reasoning for developing this question. This would be a great activity that I could do with my students because it would give them a chance to create a layout for the Genius Hour topic. I would have each of the students create a presentation and prepare to share it in with their classmates. After they present, I would have each of the students to provide feedback to the presenters. This would require each student to have time with a computer to create their presentation and then a projector so they could share it with the class. This not only gets them thinking about their project, but also develop their oral communication skills.
Thank you for reading!
