Google asks its workers to spend 20% of their time on a project they like. They
call this
20% time. The workers think of an idea and try to make it work. Amazing ideas
such as
Gmail, AdSense and Google News started from 20% time projects. So we know
it works
for Google, but what about schools? Is 20% time a good idea for school
students, too?
Many schools in the USA use Google’s idea of 20% time. The students choose
a project,
find the information they need and make or write something to show the class.
They don’t
usually spend 20% of their time on the project, but teachers give them about an
hour a week.
They call this Genius Hour.
There are no textbooks for Genius Hour, and students can choose any idea for
their project.
It can relate to science, geography, maths or any other subject. The students
love Genius Hour and they produce fantastic projects.
