If you know me, you know I am not the best at making speedy decisions. This project is no exception. My teacher is starting to encourage us to choose our topic, but I still have no idea! We are supposed to relate it to our interests........so I have SOME ideas up my sleeve. It is decision time.
I was slightly confused when I heard this for the first time, just like most of my classmates. We are being given a CHOICE in what we study? That is not something you hear everyday. Our Biology teacher decided it would be beneficial for us to take on a self-directed learning project and relate our knowledge of biology to something that interests us. Anything. He compared it to Google's 20-time, where Google employees are given 20% of their time at work to pursue their own interests. Gmail and Google Maps are only a few of the now-famous products of this endeavor. Now......I just have to choose a topic. There are soooooo many choices! This will prove to be different project for sure, My classmates and I will learn a lot, even if it is not all related to biology. I can't wait to see how it turns out!
