TPCK Talking about technology integration in the classroom, let alone implementing it, can be difficult initially. It's a complex topic with a lot of nuance. Overly focusing on technology can lead to use which doesn't support learning and SOLs which is a waste of everyone's time and energy. The TPCK model clarifies things. It honors key elements of a great classroom. Technology, pedagogy and content knowledge. The overlap of these three components is where the 21st Century classroom is most powerful.

Design Thinking is a methodology that teaches children to creatively solve problems in their lives. We believe that creative confidence comes from repeated practice using a human-centered creative process to solve problem scenarios called design challenges.

We hope you use this space to find and share resources to teach design thinking. This is still a working prototype, so feel free to explore and change.
