Design Thinking II (Christine and Elizabeth)
Manage episode 311186776 series 3087831
In our Podcast, we focused on a Ted Talk by TIm Brown about Design Thinking, and an article by Donaid A. Schön (Department of Urban Studies and Planning) titled “Teaching and learning as a design transaction.” Our conversation centered around communication and the issues surrounding the inherent misunderstandings that result. We used the examples from the video and article to illustrate this. We discussed the need for “giving reason” and “reciprocal reflection” as important pieces to Design Thinking. We also discussed the “Silent Game” and what teachers can take away from this activity. Our thoughts were focused on the need for awareness of multiple visions, the art of observation and reflection, to never make assumptions, and to embrace the excitement of discovery for both teacher and students. We closed with our thoughts on the bravery and leap of faith the education system must take to incorporate Design Thinking into the classroom.
