Tools, Tips and Tactics for Enterprising Educators
Tools, Tips and Tactics for Enterprising Educators
I’m Matt, a lecturer, entrepreneur and self-confessed, completely unashamed education geek!
I’ve been teaching on enterprise and entrepreneurship courses for almost a decade now, and I currently lecture at a number of institutions around the UK, delivering across a range of programmes including The Entrepreneurial Mindset, Business Modelling, Business Strategy, and Business Planning. I also mentor a number of start-up businesses and consult on business growth and development for a range of companies
My idea is to create a new website to showcase and review tools, practice and ideas which would support educators delivering enterprise/entrepreneurial content across the educational spectrum.
The site would offer regular content updates (at least one per month) and would be supported by advertising revenue initially with, perhaps, a subscription model to follow.
I’m offering this to any educator delivering enterprising/entrepreneurial topics/content. I think that a site like this has the potential to spread ideas and best practice beyond traditional conferences or other methods of publication.
As an educator working in this sector, I recognise that lots of people are doing amazing things but, unless you are constantly searching for this practice, it’s really easy to miss tools, ideas and techniques which might support your own work.
Even if you follow loads of social media threads, product pages, conference guides etc. it’s really difficult to keep up with practice beyond your area of the broader community.
Based on many conversations that I’ve had over the years I know that others recognise this as a problem and feel that this type of site would make a positive contribution to the community in general.
As well as being an experienced educator and entrepreneur I’ve been involved in a number of projects to develop websites, apps and e-learning resources… also I’ve got a pretty awesome network of people so, I think I’ve got the ability to deliver this and make it happen!
People have tried to develop similar sites before but there’s currently nothing active in this space.
The only alternatives are social media lists and new-sites from National / Transnational Organisations.
The information in these areas is based on your work with the Value Proposition Wheel and the other related tools in the Idea Maker course.
