The article, Why 20% time is good for schools by AJ Juliani was about how great “20% time” is. In his article he explained how giving students 20% time will give them the opportunity to be creative with what they’ve learned. It gives them the chance to make a song, draw a picture, or even makes a small movie about whatever it is they have been learning about, instead of just doing the same thing as everybody else. He mentions how the atmosphere in classrooms are happier and better with 20% time because everybody comes together to learn about their peers interests.
I really like the idea of 20% time. It gives us a chance to learn in whatever way we learn best. I think 20% time is a great idea because nobody has the same exact learning path. Some of us can’t just read a book, and then go write a report on that book. As the article said, with 20% time those who have a hard time doing some of those things have the opportunity to show what they learned in a way that is best for them. I like the idea most because it just gives people a little more freedom and it gives them the chance to be creative.
My goal for this trimester is to learn more about how accounting works. To accomplish my goal I will pay close attention to what my employer does/ says. I will get hands on experience working with them. I am also hoping that with the training I will receive I will become more “college ready”.
