Session 2 Activity----How Can Success In Innovation

Educational Innovation is to achieve certain goals of education and innovation in the field of education activities. Educational innovation contains the education system, educational structures, educational concepts, educational methods, educational tools, curriculum materials and educational time and space, involving almost all aspects of the field of education. With the development of human society, education has continuously engaged in innovation activities, such as the establishing of schools, textbooks appear, multi-media use, they are all part of the successful educational innovation. For several reasons, the education innovation often will meet some problems

Our discussion is around the problems based on the article which raised by Joyce Wycoff—“The Big Ten Innovation Killers and How to Keep Your Innovation System Alive and Well”. Though the article we summarize the several ways to address the problem about pedagogical practice.

1. What is culture, culture is a driving force to any organization. Without culture an organization just likes a sailing without direction, neither as education innovation. When an education institution does not know which culture it has, Innovation will never be happened in such education institutions. They will develop slow, even stop. Only if the culture will be established with clear direction.
2. Equipment is also a big factor about successful innovation, good innovation without hardware support is just useless. So the government and the leader of the school should put more money on the basic equipment, that with these equipment, innovation class can be come true.
3. Company should have a good Innovative leader, so as education organization. If the principle makes an innovation strategy, that the pedagogical innovation will be boost. If the principle is conservative, so he is the Stumbling block of innovation.
4. Teacher is the soul of the education, if the teacher does not know how to innovation, his class seems so boring that no students will like it. To address this situation the teacher should be trained with innovation course, such as ITE.
5. To have an idea management system that students and teacher can communication online or make course more simple. For example, once teacher want to have a task out of the classroom, he can use the management system to give suggests and guide the students to finish the task.

Overall, there also many other measures to make the innovation successful, but the important thing is the new innovation is whether suitable for the current education.
