Educational Break Time




A report by Kansas State University researchers has suggested that regularly taking really short breaks of a minute or so to switch your focus to a game or textng your friends may improve your productivity. 

With this in mind, the next time you’re going to take a break, instead of reaching for a mindless game, try something that can distract your mind and educate you. 

Google's ‘SmartyPins’ game allows you to test both your trivia & geography during your break.

They’ll pop up a trivia question with instructions to place a pin in the location that is your answer in Google Maps. 

Trivia questions can be random or from specific categories such as science & geography, arts & culture or history & current events. 

When the question pops up, you will score bonus points when you answer within fifteen seconds. 

They also provide hints so you can click the button and place your pin. They spot 1000 miles as point, so every wrong answer will subtracts the actual miles between the correct answer and your answer pin.
