Blog Prompts (Week 2)
In Chapter 1, innovation is defined as a way of thinking that creates something new and better. What are some examples that you consider innovative? How is it new and better than what previously existed?
Review the “Critical Questions for Educators” in Chapter 2. Why are these important to understand those we serve in education? What other questions would you ask?
How do you embody the characteristics of an Innovator’s Mindset?
Moving Forward
Please keep sharing to the #IMMOOC hashtag as well as the Facebook Group when you are done.
We look forward to reading your reflections, and highlighting some of them on the Thursday post.
Thank you again for being a part of this journey! It has been amazing to see what people have been sharing. Continue to do so!

Thank you for Episode Two! You always get me thinking! Today you said that when we have to work within boxes of constraint is when the best innovation happens. I couldn’t agree more! I have been saying for a long time now that when we have certain constraints is when we have to be the most creative. Too much freedom can mean lack of meaningful creativity.
Thanks again!
