"Design thinking is a human-centered approach to problem solving that begins with developing empathy for those facing a particular challenge. It serves as a framework that helps to define problems, empathize with others, develop prototypes of possible solutions, and hone those prototypes through multiple iterations until they have generated a viable solution to the challenge at hand. Design thinking encourages a bias toward action and, because of its reliance on rapid prototyping, frees practitioners to embrace the notion of failing forward because it's OK to make mistakes -- that's where breakthrough ideas are born." EdutopiaIf you are a regular reader of my blog or follow me on social media you probably already know that I have been on a journey to create learning activities that are more learner-centered and less teacher-centric. HyperDocs have become a big part of what I do with my Environmental Science students. Some of my students really love the activities that provide opportunities for student choice and student voice, others not so much. Some of my students struggle with not being directed what do learn and would prefer more of a teacher-centric class. My challenge has become to create activities that support all of my students, while still challenging them to take ownership of their learning own experiences.
