Christian Long spoke at TEDxOverlake last year, and had lunch with a few of us to talk about using design thinking in education. This is a nice description of the value of DT in schools, especially in project-based learning. It also touches on Prototype Camp, which a few of our students attended earlier this year.

You could spend a long time going through all of the resources here, but it is nice to have them all pulled into the same place. Anyone interested in project-based learning should take a few minutes to take a look.

As much as I love the idea of doing 'project based learning' in my class, most of the value is lost if it only exists in one class. This video does a great job of describing what's needed to really make PBL worth the time and effort.
