Some of the main points this week for Social Innovation were talking about what Social Innovation is. We also had to learn the syllabus and get orientated for online learning. Something else was getting to know the people in this class. I have noticed that this class is not specific to any one degree but to many degrees .
I enjoyed the video about the Ballard Center and the people that were spotlighted in it. The ideas and ways of making an impact seem endless and not so far reaching when others are involved and want to help. I always told my husband that when we are ready I want to spend several years serving a mission with him and hep out in communities that are need throughout the world. There is so much that can be done.
I feel that social innovation is more prevalent now because with the advancements in technology and the ability to get more done, more and more people are able to help. Also, the need for more help is known more because of the media and people throughout these communities can make it known that there is a need.
