Entrepreneurship and Innovation in K-12 Education on "iinnovate"



Hi lovely visitors! To follow up on yesterday's post on how you can enjoy (free) UC Berkeley online classes, here is another fantastic site - "iinnovate" where you can learn all about what is on the mind of top business leaders, technologists, social and business entrepreneurs.

iinnovate is a blog produced by students of Stanford University's Business and Design schools. The students interview respected academic and business leaders and post the podcast and videocasts of the interviews on their blog site, "Iinovate.blogspot.com".

You can sign up via Itunes to listen on-the-go or sign up for the iinnovate RSS feed so that you are alerted when new interviews are posted.

The videocast above is from iinovate's May 2007 panel discussion of leaders in the field of education. The first two minutes of this particular episode are the best. The short clip features students who participated in "BUILD"'s business plan competition for high school students. The students comment on their experience in creating a business plan for greeting cards. Enjoy :)
