Whipped up a quck primer on "what is innovation" to review and reinforce Kamens definition of innovation (which is the one I personally buy into and the one we have empahsised at Chenango Forks).
This will let me do a quick review of the Kamen video clip "Defininf Innovation" - in one class we went over it as a group, in the other I had them look at it as a self guided activity.
I placed in the Dean Kamen box of video shorts.
CF Innovations 101 web page
The second group seemed to have a great grasp of it (I just want to go over it myself for purely selfish reasons - I like teaching) although they did find Kamen a bit boring (in his delivery, not his content).
I used the iPod/iTunes to help draw the distinction between innovation and invention and to reinforce what an innovation really is - this also allows me to touch Edison again (if even in a peripheral way).
