Global Educators Reveal Top Tips for Putting Google’s 20 Percent Time in Classrooms Everywhere
New York, NY (PRWEB) May 03, 2017 -- Search engine giant Google allows its engineers to spend 20% of their time working on things that interest them – the goal being to inspire creativity and indirectly increase productivity. That same 20% time also inspires curiosity and innovation in schools by giving students a purpose for learning and a conduit for their personal interests and passions, according to research by CMRubinWorld with acclaimed educators around the world.
“Teachers live for that moment in time when a student says, “I finally had an idea that is all my own and belongs to no one else”,” says teacher Joe Featheree. “Educators around the world have employed and integrated genius time in their classrooms because of its positive effect on the students,” writes Jim Tuscano. “Genius Hour is not about a quick answer that is regurgitated in front of the class,” emphasizes Shaelynn Fransworth. “Instead, we are asking students to become experts in that particular field and have the audacity to manipulate their knowledge in ways that will allow them to construct thoughtful responses with threaded experiences and support in multiple situations.”
