Welcome

GWE Welcome- Singapore





Welcome Activity:


This welcome activity will give you an opportunity to meet and connect with the people in your team. It is also meant to help you kick start your innovative thinking for the day - with a clear focus on learning. So stretch your mind and exercise your creativity. :)

Follow the instructions below to complete the activity... and make an innovation connection!
  1. Listen carefully to the instructions. This should take two minutes or less.
  2. Think of the best example of innovation in education that you can. For this exercise, the innovation should not involve computers, gadgets, or anything "techie." The example doesn't need to be something you've done yourself. Perhaps it's something one of your teachers did when you were a student or something you've seen one of your colleagues (or heroes) do.  Think fast, and prepare to share. You'll have about two minutes to think.
  3. Share the example you've chosen with the whole team. You will each have about two minutes to introduce yourself and share your example (and any story behind it). This needs to be the "elevator pitch" for the innovation you are sharing! When one team member is sharing, the others can ask questions, but shouldn't "take over" the conversation.
  4. Rotate until every person on the team has shared their example. With teams of six or seven, this should take about 12 or 14 minutes... so you'll have 15 minutes to complete sharing.
  5. Come together as a team to decide who shared the best example of innovation in education. Again, you'll have about 2 minutes.
  6. A representative from your team will share the best example with the large group. Each group representative will have 1 minute to share.
