The 20Time Project: how freedom can help prepare students for the future

Google for Education: The 20Time Project: how freedom can help prepare students for the future:



Excerpt from the post:



20Time affords students the opportunity to follow the three critical ingredients essential to innovation as described in Drive:

1. Autonomy: freedom in what they learn and how they learn it 
2. Mastery: the ability to track their learning growth 
3. Purpose: meeting the needs of an audience outside the walls of the classroom

I love this idea! So much could be done in this amount of time and this concept supports differentiation and personal learning.
