End-user innovation
… a source of innovation, only now becoming widely recognized, is end-user innovation . This is where an agent (person or company) develops an innovation for their own (personal or in-house) use because existing products do not meet their needs
“ end-user innovation [is], by far, the most important and critical”
Eric Von Hippell Sources of Innovation

Expertise and innovation
Innovation takes place through complex process that link many different actors together
The boundaries of organisations and industries are sites for innovation
Problems and needs of users can be met with the potential solutions in creative processes

What does innovation mean to you?
What is innovation ‘in one sentence’?

Aims of the innovation "The ubiquitous presence and utility of ICT in modern life are having a significant impact on the way we live, and even on the notion of an educated person. It has led to the concept of the knowledge society - sometimes also called the learning society or information society. There is a widespread awareness that these developments have profound implications for education, and that schools must change, but as yet little detailed consideration of the extent of the change needed and the advantages that ICT can bring. The growth of the knowledge society and the pervasiveness of the technology represent a major challenge and a major opportunity for education." OECD, Learning to Change: ICT in Schools (2001), p.9
‘ Uncertain futures’

"The changes in society, among pupils' perceptions, and the evolution of new technologies are leading to a new profession for teachers."
B. Cornu, 'New technologies: integration into education' (in D. Watson & D. Tinsley (eds.), Integrating Information Technology into Education ; London, 1995), p.8
‘… change in education may now be thought of as a constant condition, rather than an event’

Innovations ³ 07794 327171
Problem identification/definition is central to successful innovation: why are you innovating?
Use a side of the cube – label it “1”
What are you addressing/aiming to solve?
Responding to Every Child Matters?
Responding to the Personalisation agenda?
Taking advantage of the expertise of parents and local community?
Help 1 child recognised their learning outside school to build on it in school?

Innovation is the process or result of combining previously separate ideas or technologies in useful and valuable ways

innovation is moving beyond …
Bob Harrison

Innovation for us comes in many forms, be it software, delivery or simply the doors we open. Gemin-i
07794 327171

Innovation is bold experimentation against a backdrop and goal of change, evolution and progress
07794 327171

Innovation is using pre-existing or emergent ideas and technologies and using them in new and creative ways never used before
Leon Cych

The creative process of transforming practices in communities of practice such that participants see those changes as a breakthrough

How do you know when this has been achieved?
How would you measure it?
(standard and non standard measures)
Use the opposite side of the cube – label it “2”
What does success look like?
Children asking more questions?
Learners utilising a wide range of sites of learning?
Standard measures? Attainment?
Measures of happiness?

Introducing outside-the-box thinking to inside-the-box people and organizations.

Innovation is driven by people and often happens at the boundaries between different disciplines
Innovation is a process, it's confusing to think of it as a thing
If you want to learn about innovation, don't pick up a book with innovation in the title, read autobiographies
The quickest way to innovate is to bring innovative people into your organisation

Innovation is looking at the same thing in new ways
07794 327171

By definition, life is change and change is constant. Innovation is about being the change rather than facing the change. Change is human nature, it is at the core of every person, without it we experience stagnation and complacency. To empower people to be innovative is a collective responsibility. Innovation and education should go hand in hand – it is the lifeblood of our children and the future of our world

Tomorrow’s teachers will therefore inhabit and expect to flourish in a very different educational world.

They will find themselves in schools in which the proportion of teaching support staff has markedly increased

they will be professionally accountable for their contribution to improving the outcomes for children
they will require to display a deeper sensitivity and responsiveness to the well-being of learners

they will work in schools which are designed to address a wider range of professional concerns than the school of yesteryear

[they] will become gateways to a network of dispersed learning opportunities, and will draw on wider sources of expertise to support learning

they will have a stronger involvement with parents and other community agencies than in the past

they will be members of teams, in some cases in leadership roles, in others as partners, in addressing shared professional problems

they will be expected to engage more frequently in discussions with others from different walks of professional life

the effects of all these changes will be to reinforce the teachers’ fundamental and distinctive responsibility for exercising leadership in teaching and learning and maximising learning opportunities.

What would this look like in practice?
What changes to social practices would need to be made?
Use the another side of the cube – label it “3”
What changes are there to practice?
Enquiry based curriculum?
Online registration not based on one site?
New relationships? New organisations? New conversations?
Wider range of activities offered based on learner’s interests?

Teachers TV is innovative in two ways – it’s the largest-ever project to record and disseminate the teaching and learning in a nation’s schools, and all its programmes (approaching 2000 of them) are available for viewing on its website ( www.teachers.tv ), as well as on-air on digital satellite and cable TV. The marriage of high-quality television with advanced broadband delivery on this scale is, we believe, unique in the field of television, as well as in the field of education.

Innovation is the key criteria in deciding what programmes to commission and what new media projects to develop. The innovation may be the idea, the technology, the format or the use of new talent - and often it means creating new partnerships to make new things happen.
We know we're there to stimulate debate not provide definitive answers - we're creating content to help people make up their own minds about an increasingly complex world.

For us and our students, innovation is a way of thinking. We encourage intuitive thought, without fear of risk, free and able to grasp what are we trying to achieve, and how best can we make it happen. Innovation is creation.
