Since the outbreak of COVID 19 in the Philippines or any part of the country, Classes have been suspended and ended online to ensure the safety of the students. As we start our new normal in this pandemic, we also started our 1st semester in my 2nd-year college using online class and its flat form as a new normal to hold classes. Google Classroom & Meet and Facebook were used as a mode of communications we use to send files, assignments, meetings, and many more.
The Course GEE 16 – The Entrepreneurial Mind was the first subject to confirm its schedule of class meetings in google meet and on Facebook live among my other subjects. When there is new, I’m always anticipating because this is my first time I experienced virtual face to face classes using google meet and I’m also afraid at the same time because of what will be the effect of having an online class to our grades and learning.
Theories of entrepreneurship were being discussed. According to Joseph Schumpeter, he explained that economic growth is started by people who called themselves entrepreneurs. They produce goods for everyone and find joy and self-fulfillment in gettings things done and have a strong need for achievement. They serve as the backbone of the economy.
As the world is changing and involving, the kind of entrepreneurship, we will be having is not like the same as we experienced in the senior high school. This course aims for the growth and global that can make or propose a change in traditional businesses. The type of entrepreneurship that thus course want venture is what we called technopreneurship, where science and technology-based, scalable, and can have an impact on the economy since most of us have and use technology. In the second meeting, we were task group ourselves into 5 members and give us an assignment to evaluate our self to know of what type of members we want to group ourselves. She give us the link 👇. We use to test or evaluate ourselves.
Quantify Your Ability to Innovate
Our instructor has given us the task and instructions of what we will do throughout the semester.
As the discussion continued, I learned that being an entrepreneur is easy but difficult in the long run. It always requires the skills, strategies, and much more to come up with a solution to every problem and not be a burden to others. I learned that as an entrepreneur we must find the problem and find the effective and efficient solution to the problem. The solution may make you fail but we mustn’t take ourselves as a failure, but must learn from it. It is the risk that we take as an entrepreneur. I learned that everyone can be an entrepreneur and can propose changes. As an entrepreneur, one must keep innovating and creating new ideas and can start a business as long as they have the resources and ability.
Our instructor said that this may be the difficult course will take but this will be the most fun. I must ready myself to face difficulties and handle the kind of roller-coaster emotions I will have in this course. This is Estella and this is only the start of our technopreneurship journey. I hope everyone is Safe and Godbless. Thank you for reading.
