The document discusses tools for promoting an entrepreneurial mindset in students. It introduces two teachers who will discuss this topic. Entrepreneurial skills are important for lifelong learning and allow individuals to identify opportunities and turn ideas into action. Several online tools are presented that allow students to generate, plan, and collaborate on ideas. These include Padlet, Tricider, and RACI matrices. Students can then use tools like smartphones, movies, and memes to produce their ideas. Developing an entrepreneurial mindset involves learning through collaboration, taking responsibility, and continually evaluating and improving ideas.
