"20 Time" Blog Post

On the "20-Time In Education" website, the authors describe the helpful, though often not preformed, education format known as 20 Time. The main focus of the format is to help students' creativity by having them do their own work; Research, questioning, resolving, and so forth are not defined by the teacher. It is all up to the students to create their work and the way they do. The authors suggest this towards teachers to help the students' creativity levels, so in the future when they may need to innovate, they have the practice and knowledge to do so. They can create their own questions to solve, become autonomous learners, and know how to do work without a set plan created by a higher representative. By spending 20% of their class time, or about a hour a week, they can develop the skill with their own project to work on and hopefully be proud of. On a student level myself, I say that this is a splendid idea for teachers to initiate for their classes. By filling up their "creative juices," it gives the students a chance to break from the normality of their regular classwork and ultimately do something within the school limits that interests their minds. Thus it can help them in the future to make their hard-working jobs that much more tolerable and entire companies a much better and profitable place to be. That is something that most if not all people wish they could do, and with the practice necessary, it can change into something that they can do.
