CHALLENGE!

Look for a problem in our society/world that you would like  to help solve, this problem must lead to some form of social innovation preferably in the form of product innovation

Lesson [13.3.13] Social Innovation project… :D

Social Innovation

So what is Social innovation?

Social innovation refers to new strategies, concepts, ideas, and organisations that meet social needs of all kinds; from working conditions and educations and education to community development and health, which eventually extends and strengthen civil society.

What are the some of the problems you know around you? Can you name a few?

Some of the problems are…

-Long queues at the Supermarket

-Crowded and less frequent MRT

-Car mirrors having a blind spot

Problems into Questions "What if?" "How?"

We did this in two parts... The files were too big.

Debate - Does the net does more or less harm to us?

DEBATE

Does internet do more harm or less harm on us?

2 teams 

Affirmative Team 

Negative Team 

Affirmative team

Internet has educational websites for us. We can use search engines to get answers for what we want. We also use Facebook, Google+ to communicate with each other even if we are from different parts of the world so it is pretty useful. We can use search engines to get any answers such as for Science, Maths, etc… though we need to check their sources so that they are reliable. Feel that internet is good, as we can do anything we could ever want from communicating to 
Abusing the internet such as watching pornographic videos and images, are becoming relatively more but it could be prevented with people using the internet responsibly. 

Negative team

Internet is harmful, because there a rising number of people addicted to internet and internet related games especially social networking sites. Most importantly, pornographic things.

Also there are also explicit images or videos could be found with using search engines, youtube, and social networking sites. With internet, there are also hackers and news such as companies being hacked are beginning to rise.
With photos on internet, you might get attacked or used against you which is not good for people.
Some people might abuse the internet and doing "illegal" things and could harm the world. Also, students might also use internet to cheat in tests also.

[6.3.13] Think differently - Multiple Perspectives

Think different - multiple perspectives

Quick recap: Perception is NOT equal to Reality

Perspective, pessimist see difficulty in opportunity while a optimist see opportunity in difficulty.

Focus of lesson

Innovation requires thinking differently from multiple perspective. Problems present SOLUTIONS, Solutions present PROBLEMS

Perception

With multiple perspectives and collaboration, they we would be able to 'see' the big picture. See this elephant picture

ANS: All of them are correct. It is only a matter of perception.

Perception VS Reality

Taking only 1 perceptive will not give you the correct picture/ understanding. Therefore look from different angles to give a bigger picture (holistic approach) of the problems/situation.

Think…

Is there a perfect solution to problems?

What happens in an imperfect solution?

Debate - refer to the debate post above!
