Blog Number 2

What i have learned this week in innovation class would be the different ways that groups and businesses can work together without ever being together to complete a project. In class the way that we are using the wiki pages and bloggs to complete our tasks not only makes it easier with people scheduales but also with the pace that you can complete your work. If we use this in school to do things and complete projects without ever seeing our groups face to face is a very innovative thing, and makes me think what else is out there that i don't know about. Things in the news that made me think about innovation this week when i saw it had to do with the group project that we are doing. The company that we got was G.E. The company has moved up in the annual innovative scale. The owner Bruce Nassbaum and the company are using the slogan "ego-imagination" as their new way forward. This slogan is about how they are making their products to be more "green" and help the environment by making their products more eco friendly. They are doing many different things to reach this with the materials that they use, and the way that they use electricity. The group work that my group is working on is coming along very well. We all got the tasks done in the 13 steps and got in touch with each other on the wiki page. I like that everyone in our group is on the same page with how we are going to get the information that we find out to the rest of the group. We also have good communication not only on the wiki page but now through email as well. I didn't know 3 of my 4 group members before this project, but now in the past week did a whole project almost without having to come up with a time that worked for everyone to meet and get it all done in that short amount of time. Our group is moving forward great and I'm glad that they are on my team.
