Participating in twitter tonight, I noticed a tweet by Don Tapscott, author of "Wikinomics" and "Grown Up Digital" etc Don was about to present the keynote address for a conference. Upon following the link provided, I discovered a conference entitled Incentive2Innovate and although being business oriented, much of the program over the next 2 days would have relevance to us as educators. What other sites/conferences/blogs etc have you found on the topic of Innovation?

An interesting blog article "Should everyone work in Innovation?" discusses what is required to make innovation work. The blog itself is an interesting one written by Stephan Lindegaard re helping companies drive innovation.

An interesting 'unconference' style of innovative teachers meeting together in the UK can be found at the teachmeet site. One interesting meet is coming up soon in London

Hi Anne, I am a big fan of 'Wikinomics' - its on my book shelf. I followed your link and was pleased to see a photo of the author Don Tapscott, but disappointed that I could not find any archived slides or presentation. On the subject of sites of Innovation I would like to mention the Innovate and Integrate site here: http://innovateandintegrate.flexiblelearning.net.au/ and for a followup or a precurso try the Learning Solutions site with some Innovate and Integrate interactive tools at:
