What Would Google Do?-First Reflection

Laura, Angela, and Staci

In order to survive in a changing world, we need to change the way we think. This book is modeled after Google, who successfully did just that. The first step in changing their thinking was giving the control to the people. Another step is to utilize the blogs and message boards to find out what people need and want. Use this information to grow in a way that listens to customers and find out what they need. In education, we need to listen to students, teachers, and the community to find out what students want to learn and how they want to learn that information. Our hope is that the STEM initiative will do just this in education.

  1. As we read a little further we also learned about how Google has made itself a platform for others to build upon. For example Google Maps has many mash-ups that make it useful to numerous consumers and companies.
    So how does this relate to education? Can we find platforms to build on that will help educators? We think so!
