   Innovation

In 1 week (April 16) the Innovation project will be launched. During 1 month your students will focus on Innovation and the UN SDGs.

We'll be using this online document (OneNote) to share resources. Navigating to @https://1drv.ms/u/s!ArWDu8MiRkr5vxe1F9QuTewEOJo0 allows you to view and edit the document. It includes some general information and the weekly topics including some resources.

Are you able to sign in at the website? You should have received a username and password. If not, please tell me. Sign in at www.innovation-project.info/user. You can add your own picture and one of your students. Please make sure to take pictures of your students while they are working on the project. You can add these pictures to @http://innovation-project.info/impressions. During each week you can add ONE video to the website. This video can be maximum 8 minutes. We prefer you to upload your video to YouTube or OneDrive.

Find yourself at @http://innovation-project.info/teachers. Find the ambassadors at @http://innovation-project.info/ambassadors. They will guide you during the project.

The first week's topic is "What is Innovation". These are some guidelines. Feel free to take another approach! Keep in your mind that after introducing the topic to your students you need to become a guide rather than an instructor. Collaboration is key. Make sure to point your students in the right direction.

How about ethics?

 * 2) Every innovation may come with benefits, unexpected side effects and drawbacks. Can your students give some examples of innovation?
 * 1) Try to imagine the world/your house/a classroom in 2030? Check the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Decided not to participate after all? Please let me know and I'll remove your account from the website.

Our project is supported by lots of public figures. I'm adding quotes to this page on daily base. Be surprised!

We are using hashtag #SDGinnoPro on social media. Feel free to shout out on Facebook or Twitter.

Do you know some expert who'd like to do a master class at the end of the project via Skype? Do you know a celebrity willing to support our project?
