ILE Work and Updates
WHAT is 20% TIME?
A component to the NHS Help Desk curriculum is the Individual Learning Endeavor, or the 20% time project. Inspired in part by Google’s 20% time project, as well as the pilot program at Monument Mountain Regional High School in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, the ILE allows Help Desk students to devote (20% (TUESDAY'S) of their time to a project that is “unrelated” to the Help Desk day to day goals and objectives.

What is my ILE?
I next began to work on my ILE that includes website building and video creating. I have decided to create a website for Northgate's Special Education Department. This website will include videos, slideshows, and pictures to help students, teachers, and parents communicate as well as help students with more challenging subjects. I will also link useful websites and fun games to help the students learn in a more entertaining fashion.
