Recommended: The effects of video games on children and teens

Minecraft is a game for kids and adults alike, the game consists of blocks for the player to use and to build things with, along with monsters for the player to fight using swords and other weapons. I believe that it can be used in schools across the country for educational purposes. Genius hour is where we find a problem in our community and try to solve it as best as we can within about 30 minutes to an hour but we have to choose something that we really want to do.

We had planted flowers and placed diagrams inside of it for kids to learn about the parts of a flower. For my next genius hour I chose to do something I'm interested in, which was researching how Minecraft affected kids who played it.

After I had used the restroom, I stepped out of the bathroom and made sure to look behind my back, to make sure the substitute teacher wasn’t following me. I went down the hallway, which felt longer than usual. I had a weird voice in the back of my head saying “ I don’t think this is an exquisite idea.” Like I usually do I ignored it because I like to live in the moment, no just kidding; I’m just not that bright. So when I got to the science classroom door, I slowly opened it to make sure no one was in the room.

Launer (2003) describes external and internal factors in supervision whereby clinical practice and sharing skills are external and reflection is an ‘internal conversation.’ Brunero & Stein-Parbury (2008) discussed the effects of clinical supervision in nursing staff and argued that self-reflection generates a sense of self-awareness and knowledge to the individual.
