20time - this is a strategy that can be used with gifted students and high ability children where students are given time in school to work on projects that are generated by their own interests and passions. It is learning for learning sake. The basic idea is you come up with a wicked problem, something that is not easily solved if at all, and you try and create a project where you are helping others who are faced with this problem. This PD video provides the basic structure of doing 20time with your students as well as providing possible suggestions for products. This is a great strategy for students for learning how to learn as well as how pursuing one's passions can lead to wonderful outcomes.
