Innovate2Create

Great video about a great company. IDEO collaboratively designs a new approach to shopping carts that is well received by grocery store owners and employees. Very positive brainstorming sessions and a great environment for continually improving new ideas in ways that can be built upon my other team members. A very fun way to create new products and services! This has me thinking about what I can do differently. I decided yesterday to look into a research assistantship to balance the TA positions I've held. A research position will give me the opportunity to work on a team and contribute to expanding the understanding of and possibilities for technology in education using quantitative and qualitative research methods. I am really enjoying Statistics which is not something I would have seen myself saying a year ago. Learning and changing is part of innovating. Innovating ourselves through learning puts us in the best position to contribute to innovating in other arenas! I hope to part of some more innovation in education in 2010!
