Innovation

Choose your favourite page on Design for Change and write why this was your favourite.

I choose the stories of change, because there are a lot of great videos to watch and to get inspired. 

I found a video on the “heath” site about the Tourette’s Syndrom which I really like. I am very interested in it because I become a teacher for special education. I think it’s important to know different diseases and how other people cope with that.

This boy is admirable because of his positive thinking. He wants to help other people coping with the disease and to have a positive view to the future.

I also like the “environment” site because you really get inspired and you want to work with children and teach them something about these themes. I think as a teacher it’s our task to inform the children about living sustainable and take care of the world.

Write a reflection on this quote: 'In a time when there is hunger for innovation everywhere, we think our primary responsibility is to help prepare a generation of students to rise with the challenges of our times' (d.school).

Students should not have the feeling to be forced to change something. I think it’s important that they are informed about our situation and that they WANT to change something. We should give them a chance to think innovative. Creativity is very important I think. As an adult we should take the ideas from the children seriously, because they often have the best ideas. We often think about it too much, children just try out and let the things come.
