After this class, staying informed and in loop

This class has been a great learning experience and testing ground for ideas. Thank you to Professor Zak and my fellow classmates!

I have started to read the Innovation section of Global Public Square, it is very interesting and a way that I will continue to stay informed: http://globalpublicsquare.blogs.cnn.com/category/innovation/

What I like about this site is that it compiles articles and editorials on not just innovations, but the circumstances surrounding them. As we can imply from class and as is presented here, social innovation isn't just associated with creating a new market niche or taking risks, it's about how we can assess food shortages and how a solution such a Plumpy'Nut can mitigate even a few of the complexities and be made accessible, or how we can simplify an initiative and yet be innovative as we learned about the MIT students' initiative to take pictures in space, or how even a slight modification to an existing technology can have a significant impact in addressing certain needs as conveyed in the World Bank's Development Marketplace Learning at Leisure initiative on this site.
