The 20% project is a project created by google. The concept is that by giving there employees 20% of there on the clock time work on a passion of there own, it will promote happy and healthy employees. We are taking one month (20% of our remaining class time) to work on a project of our own that we are passionate about. One of my main passion or hobbies is photography and film making. After lots of brain storming, meeting with different students and teachers I have decided I will create a documentary about Animas high school. Currently I am stuck between two ideas, comparing and contrasting the two schools pros and cons for incoming freshman or for people who may just want to switch schools to have an educated choice on where to get there education. My second Idea is showing animas's progress as a school and what they are doing to become more of a true project based learning school. I also am going to meet with a small group next week to try to brainstorm a essential question. I am very excite to see how this project turns out, there are many ways I could go with this film and I am excited to see what direction I decide to take it. | |
