Blog Prompts for the week

Image result for 5 ways to lay the foundation for innovation

How do you create or build on these conditions to support innovation? What has been the impact on those you serve?

 

What are your connections to the “School vs Learning image? What would you add or modify?

Which “what if” question challenges your thinking in the Innovator’s Mindset? What would you add to the list of what ifs?

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.

Our goal through this process was to really tap into how we can “empower” you through this process, not simply engage. What are your thoughts on this? Would love to hear what you think.

Keep inspiring, keep innovating, keep being amazing!
