#IMMOOC Live Episode 4 – Kara Welty and Week 4 Blog Prompts

UPDATE: Because of the poor quality of the audio and issues with technology, we will be redoing this YouTube Live session tentatively at 930 PM EST, on Tuesday, October 11.  Sorry for any issues!

Check out the YouTube Live session with our special guest, Kara Welty (430 PM EST) on October 9):

For Week 4, we hope you can do the following:

1. Read Part 3 of the book (pages 123-201)
2. Do some type of media reflection on what resonates and share to the #IMMOOC hashtag.  I want to to leave this more open this week.  Do something that is a little bit tough.
3. Comment on 3 other participant blog posts.
4. Blog/Podcast/Video/Your Choice based on your thoughts of the Introduction, or use the following blog prompts to help you (Please feel free to use the images provided in your own posts):

Blog Prompts

What examples of strengths-based leadership from the Innovator’s Mindset resonate with you? How might you focus on strengths to unleash talent and foster innovation in your own context?

What elements of the 8 Things to Look For in Today’s Classrooms” exist in your professional learning? What elements are lacking?

Choose one of the “foundations for innovation” above…Talk about how you are furthering that in your own settings.  Give concrete examples that others can use.

Moving Forward

Please keep sharing to the #IMMOOC hashtag as well as the Facebook Group when you are done, as well as other spaces

We look forward to reading your reflections, and highlighting some of them on the Thursday post.

Please do not limit your learning and creation to our suggestions!!! We want this opportunity to be one where it is participant driven. We are giving some content, but we want YOU to focus on your creation.  This is a great opportunity to continuously build communities and learn from others.  Because of all of you, I have started my own YouTube channel to share short snippets on education and leadership.  I don’t think that I would have done this without your inspiration.

Keep inspiring, keep innovating, keep being amazing!

Thanks for all that you do.
