Authentic Design Challenges in Project-Based Learning: Fostering Innovators - Medium - 0 views
-
By connecting Design Thinking with Project-Based Learning, these amazing teams helped their students see how innovation and imagination can solve not just local challenges, but those faced by humans around the world. The design process required the kind of critique and revision PBL asks of students, and the resulting increases in risk taking and resilience will serve students well in any field. Most importantly, by grounding the design work in empathy interviews and authentic challenges, students were invited not only to witness the world as it is, but also to begin crafting the world as it might be.
The Case Against Grades (##) - Alfie Kohn - 2 views
-
Collecting information doesn’t require tests, and sharing that information doesn’t require grades. In fact, students would be a lot better off without either of these relics from a less enlightened age.
-
As I’ve reported elsewhere (Kohn, 1999a, 1999b, 1999c), when students from elementary school to college who are led to focus on grades are compared with those who aren’t, the results support three robust conclusions:

A fabulous article full of stories about the impact of maker-centered learning experiences, and the growing number of places that provide them - elementary schools, high school, colleges, public. Perhaps most gratifying is the use of distinctly maker-centered AND educational terminology in the same article. A great sign of things to come!

Natasha Jen: Design Thinking is Bullshit on Vimeo - 1 views
-
Not sure I agree with Natasha on her "crit" of design thinking. Not sure her retorts to some of the examples hold water. Would love to hear your takeaways from this video, Bo. I like her endpoint, about designers surrounding themselves with evidence of their work and their high standards, but not much else.

NAIS - The Learning Curve: How We Learn and Rethinking the Education Model - 0 views

Unlike Semmelweis, whose theory about the need for cleanliness was rejected because it lacked the scientific support that Louis Pasteur’s germ theory would eventually provide, today we have ample research that suggests a mismatch between learners and schools—a mismatch between how people learn and how educators think they learn.

Inventables Blog: Educator Spotlight: Greg Kent on Design Thinking - 0 views

The students walked the whole team through Design Thinking by using the process to solve a problem with us. That was a moment of clarity for me. It is like the scientific method for makers!

I found AJ Juliani’s “Launch” framework

We need to understand that being creative and solving problems takes time and effort. The agency for the students is in their ability to create the content they want anywhere and anytime, and take it as far as they want.
