Week 1: April 17 - April 22
This week was mostly an introduction to the syllabus and the outline of this course. We learned about the different kind of assignments (group and individual), tests, projects, journals, etc that are required to be successful in this course.
The point that was interesting to me is one of the future weeks that features design. Learning how social innovation and design interwine and can work together is interesting and sounds like something that will be intriguing as well as fun to learn. I have been interested in different types of design but never really thought about design going along with social innovation but it makes sense to create something beautiful that can inspire others.
Social innovation is the process of developing, creating, and implementing new, different, and effective solutions to help solve social issues in our lives. We live in a world that is run by social media and we get our information from the internet as well as social media sites. Understanding that not everything we read is the truth is important to understanding what information to believe and use to make change vs information that isn't real and won't make a difference in our lives. Understanding social innovation is important in these days so that we understand the difference that we can make in our personal life as well as the lives of others in our world.
