Currently a student who can hardly wait to start my career. I am a mamma, learner enthusiast, and music lover

@Polly967 Paulette, what a clever analogy! I love how you identified feedback as a need that students feel when they receive assessments back, and how conferencing with them can bridge the gap.

[KathlinJ @MissWeatherhead]

@KellyPotiuk @jthill What a relevant need you have identified here, and great job utilizing empathy in your survey prototype to engage with parents!

[KathlinJ @MissWeatherhead]

@AnnetteMcCaff10 @jthill Thanks Annette! I could have stayed in the "how might we" loop forever, but I had fun being creative with this idea.

[KathlinJ @MissWeatherhead]

Here is my design thinking story based on how to generate empathy within a classroom. #dtk12 @jthill

[KathlinJ @MissWeatherhead]

@TaylorElder17 I think if we are designing lessons based on student need and deciding what it is they really need to know to be successful, then their learning will remain a priority. #dtk12

@brady_kautz @KellyPotiuk I agree, that starting with our grade group would be my first step. As a beginning teacher I would open the door by asking for help, for advice, or sharing resources.

[KathlinJ @MissWeatherhead]

@KellyPotiuk @ryanssiemens I think it comes down to continually inviting parents and putting on activities that their kids are involved in. Or hosting activities like a makerspace workshop where students and parents can create something together, or observe what other student's have created #dtk12

@KellyPotiuk @Polly967 In elementary social studies I think it would be fun to see what designs students could come up with that would help out a local group or charity. Students could explore the creative side necessary for designing prototypes for a local need.#dtk12

@TheEdExplorer @Jilby09 This makes sense. I also reflected on my experience pursuing this degree and the exposure to learn and practice PBL,& design thinking, as examples, and at first it feels overwhelming because it is new. But with support from profs and peers and time it becomes more tangible.

[KathlinJ @MissWeatherhead]

Love this. Design thinking not only gives students the space to be creative but also to explore different perspectives and solutions on the given task.

[KathlinJ @MissWeatherhead]

@dmscott73 I love that design thinking can be applied to all grades and subjects. But I was thinking at an elementary age and with a focus on social there could be endless opportunities.

[KathlinJ @MissWeatherhead]

Q3. How can design thinking empower students to make a difference in the world? #dtk12

[KathlinJ @MissWeatherhead]

@MrsTenHove Such a great point that it instills confidence in students to keep creating and taking risks. I also love that quote from Brooklyn!

[KathlinJ @MissWeatherhead]

@Polly967 @TSkoby I have the same problem, I get a roll with ideating and then I struggle to pick just one, or I go off track and want to cover too much all at once.

[KathlinJ @MissWeatherhead]

@DeannaL18645321 A5. I think collaboration is key. It helps me to bounce ideas off my critical friends while I refine different stages of the design process. This helps assure me that I'm not way out in left field, or helps bring me back on track. #dtk12

[KathlinJ @MissWeatherhead]

@PoissantCarrie A6. Create the "buy in" by talking about the benefits and skills that are being fostered through design thinking. Like critical thinking, problem solving, perseverance, and team work to name a few. #dtk12

[KathlinJ @MissWeatherhead]

@CathySandul A3. Breaking down the steps or tasks they are expected to achieve may help by scaffolding the process so that students are not overwhelmed with a big project, and can instead focus on the details that will get them to the end goal #dtk12

[KathlinJ @MissWeatherhead]

@MaliaKGray A5. Modeling how to handle mistakes is essential as well as discussing the learning moments that come from "failure" #dtk12

[KathlinJ @MissWeatherhead]

@BadlandsTeacher A9. Human centered design helps promote collaboration and problem solving skills by considering what others needs are and finding solutions for those needs. By considering these needs HCD also promotes critical thinking skills. #dtk12

[KathlinJ @MissWeatherhead]

@MOnespot @MaliaKGray I like the idea of the script/giving formative feedback on how to move forward.
