On this episode, the EduWin Crew speaks with Sergio Yanes (@CommaPolice) an English for 8 years and Journalism for 3 at Lawton Chiles High School in Leon County, Florida.  You’ve probably heard of a concept called 20% time that big corporations like Google implement to give employees time to innovate on the job? Well, Sergio shares with us how he is utilizing this same strategy in his classroom with great success by allowing students to work on extended projects that interest them!  If you’ve ever considered initiating  a 20% or genius hour project into your school, this is an episode you won’t want to miss
