Recognize the buildings in the picture above? If you drive from here north on 101 you can't miss them as you cross the redwood city - San Carlos border! Oracle is valued at 193 billion dollars!! Can you even comprehend that number? I can't! And believe it or not, tomorrow they are opening their doors to us and the rest of the Sequoia Union High School District.
For today's blog post, please respond to the following:
- What is Oracle and what do they do?
- Larry Ellison, the founder of Oracle and CEO from 1977-2014 is a very interesting man. Take a moment to look him up and describe one thing you find interesting about his "life story."
- Tomorrow we will focus on the idea of entrepreneurship. What is an entrepreneur and what are some important skills somebody interested in being an entrepreneur must have?
- Lastly, tomorrow is a professional day. We are visiting a high profile company. Why is it of critical importance that you be here on time (8:15) and dressed to impress. Think about ways tomorrow can affect you, your school, your district and even all students of your age, background and experience!
Thank you for a thorough, thoughtful response. Once complete, please finish Unit 2, Lesson 11.1 in edutyping! We will continue with Adobe Flash shortly!
