School Observation week

Now it is time to be innovative :)

this week on innovation lab!!

   Well, as the weeks pass our class started to make me understand the concept of innovation more and more. Addition to innovation and it's benefits we also learned some things about the importance of creative thinking and motivation on children with the help of an amaing TED talk:)

 

 Article Name:Design Activism

Writer:Tim Brown

 
  The article that we read about design activism is actually strongly atteched to our last lessen's topic.What is innovation? Though it doesn't give an exact definition it still tells about the existence of innovation and some fields of daily life in which we use innovations. Last week we sought some answers to the question of " what do we use for?".However, most of us (or it was just me) didn't think of the answer "needs".In this article writer thinks in different parts of the world different kinds of innovations occure and also most of these innovations are in different fields.The reason for this difference is simply people's needs because every person or every country has it's own needs. And according to the article innovations generally stem from these needs.

Article name:Globalization

Writer:Anthony Giddens

  Our next article is about one of the most important and big issues of today's world:Globalization. Maybe we don't realize it's effects directly but  everything that we do is actually global. As the writer tells in the article no matter where you live the whole world knows what is going on around you or in your country and this is what actually globalization means to me.Moreover, one of  the points that the writer talks about in the article is how the boundries of countries' started to dissapear and I totally agree with it. Because of the changing and globalizing conditions of the world it gets harder to think millions of people as one.on the other hand it is quit wiser to think every person individually. These points are the basics of the article and I can't say anything more but that I completely agree with auther's ideas.

What is innovation??

•   Innovation is a term which is used to describe new things that we try. We try them with the aim of being more efficent, more interesting and more successful. When we are talking about innovations in education, I think our main point should be permanent learning which can also be defined as successful learning. So to describe innovation with a few words, I can say that innovations are the forms or concepts.. which we use to improve things.

                             

So, to make our life easier and more happy my partner Lara and I came up with some really innovative ideas in our innovation lab class:)

           

Lara thought that she can bring my best friend to me with the magic stick that she innovated and I also thought that I can make Lara's mom happier with the innovative airplane that I created to celebrate Christmas :) Though, neither of our ideas didn't work out this time they were still good practises for innovative thinking and they helped us to understand the notion of innovation.
