Since the beginning of the year, Mrs. Adkins’ homeroom has been dedicating one hour a week to participate in a program entitled Genius Hour. Genius Hour was developed according to the search-engine Google’s idea of 20% time. Engineers at Google are given the opportunity to work on projects they are passionate about for 20% of their work time. It is believed that if you allow people time to work on projects they are passionate about, productivity will increase. This policy has worked so well at Google that many of Google’s projects have been developed during this creative time. Schools and teachers around the globe have adopted the Genius Hour program to mimic Google’s 20% time. With the input of teachers in the district also implementing Genius Hour, the following plans were created for the past two school years.
