Shake Up Learning: Entrepreneurial Learning Challenge

I haven't incorporated entrepreneurial learning much into my classes, but that will change this year. I have a few ideas as to how to incorporate entrepreneurship more:

• Have students collaborate, peer review, and create together, while taking on various leadership roles
• Publish student work to a website or blog, and share out on Twitter
• Have students publish children's books or short stories or self-help books
• Publish e-books or hard copy books
• Can put online to sell, as well
• Create a fictional business that sells historical inventions
• Shark Tank with historical inventions
• Re-think a historical invention with a new, futuristic purpose
• Create a new product and market it
• Reflect on how the product fits into the economy as a whole, who the intended market is, create an advertisement, etc.

All of these ideas fit into the curriculum of my classes, which are as follows:

• US History
• World History
• Economics
• Sociology
• Psychology

My classes are already student-centered, but projects such as these will allow students to take more ownership of their creations and will hopefully motivate students to try such ventures in the future.
