When I first heard about Innovation Time I was skeptical,but as the year went on I saw its value.Even when my first project of the year(writing a book) failed I stilled learned a lot about writing and I think that transferrerred over to my essay writing skills and made me a better writer over all.I also think the process of choosing my own projects could prove helpful later on when I get into the real world and have to make my own life decisions.

Kast innovation day I wrote about up and coming sports that could break into the big four of football,basketball,baseball,and hockey.I've also started to think about contacting an export for my innovation project,but I don't know who to talk to.
Thursdays blog was a NFL draft preview.I mainly talked about the first pick and debated whether or not Myles Garrett would be selected by Cleveland.I also talked about a little about the later rounds and mentioned some NFL stars who were picked in the later rounds.One thing I did different this was adding links to profiles of all the players I talked about in the blog.
For this weeks blog I wrote about the debate over who is the greatest basketball player of all time.I focused the blog on Micheal Jordan and LeBron James.I debated the pros and cons of each player by comparing their careers and the era they played in.
For some reason the site kept crashing so I couldn't write as much as I wouldn't to,but other than that I didn't have any issues with the blog. This week's blog post was a season preview for the Detroit Tigers. I wrote about the Tigers young prospects and their aging stars.I also gave my season prediction for the team.
Thursday's blog post was a preview of the Chicago Cubs.I mainly the moves the club made during the offseason and who their main rivals will be this season.Last week I tried to leave a link to my blog,but I gave the wrong lin so I'm going to try to add the link again.
This week was the first innovation day with my new project. I spent the first part of class just setting up my blog so didn't have enough time to add as much as I wanted,but I think it's a pretty good start.My first blog post was about whether or not high school basketball teams should use a shot clock during games. I put a link to my blog below.Hopefully next week I'll have more time to work my blog and make it a little bit longer than this week.
I think I have my next innovation project.What I want to do is write a sports blog.The idea just randomly popped into my head while making my blog post.It was also partially inspired by Conor's suggestion that me and Hunter make a morning show about St. Phil since neither me or Hunter have an innovation,but neither of us wanted to do it.Another idea that I have would be to try to improve my running speed,but with track I feel like I'm already going to be trying to do that outside of class.Other than those two ideas have any other plans for my innovation project.
This Innovation Day I gave my TED Talk to the class.I don't know what I'll do for my next Innovation Project,but I have talked to Bri about doing a group project with her.
My TED talk is finished.I want to give on innovation day this week,which is Thursday this week. |
