DT develops mindsets and practices that are valuable in many different contexts, not just "design" fields. #designthinking #dtedu #dtk12chat #empathy2action https://www.instagram.com/p/B3wo1KIhXtP/?igshid=sipud4t6jy5x

After we visited the museum, we took a look at the pictures we captured to identify any insights. Ss found that the exhibits communicated information using clear layouts, provided immersive experiences, activated one or more of the five senses, and provoking emotions. As a class we used these insights to then develop a problem statement. #empathywork #empathy2action #designthinking #deepdt #dtedu #googleei #edtechchat #teachersofinstagram #teachersoninstagram #teacher #teachers #teach #teaching #iteachtoo #teacherlife #teachercreated #teachersofig #igteachers #teacherfriends #tpt #teacherspayteachers #teachersoftpt #alwaysateacher #teachertalktuesday #educator #schoolteacher #teachertalk #teachertalktuesdays #elementaryteachers (at National Museum of Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3p7_O0hakt/?igshid=6yg8p0q5606l

@smithrchris and I have been collaborating with G2 Ts on a SS unit that has Ss taking on the role of museum curators/exhibit designers. We visited the @natmuseum_sg to not only learn about Singapore but also make observations (w/ curious, beginner's mindset) of how the museum communicated information. #empathywork #empathy2action #designthinking #deepdt #dtedu #googleei #edtechchat #teachersofinstagram #teachersoninstagram #teacher #teachers #teach #teaching #iteachtoo #teacherlife #teachercreated #teachersofig #igteachers #teacherfriends #tpt #teacherspayteachers #teachersoftpt #alwaysateacher #teachertalktuesday #educator #schoolteacher #teachertalk #teachertalktuesdays #elementaryteachers (at National Museum of Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3p7OkABXZZ/?igshid=n4v1zqd0plt

G4 Ss loved sharing their ideas w/ their classmates during the @ideo Really Bad Ideas brainstorm! Developing creative "fluency" in a lowstakes, nonjudgmental brainstorming environment. Led to large quantity of ideas and less frequency of getting stuck! Warm up to get the juices flowing. Some of these bad ideas could have been modified to become innovative ones by building upon them. Asked who wanted to share their idea to the class! #dtedu #dtk12chat #empathy2action #designthinking https://www.instagram.com/p/B25C-H8B7mX/?igshid=16g1e2xhlpq1z

First design challenge this year! During this session I totally butchered the part where I was suppose to model the interview process during the empathize phase. Totally forgot to start broad, getting to the know the person and what he or she values, and then going narrow, asking specific questions pertaining to the challenge. However they did seem to get the concept of digging deeper by asking why and asking follow-up questions, as well as showing the mindset of curiosity. #dtedu #dtk12chat #empathy2action #designthinking https://www.instagram.com/p/B22dzW5hkGk/?igshid=1vjlgxsa9o68x

@IDEOU's Really Bad Ideas Brainstorm activity w/#5thgrade: Intro brainstorm challenge, brainstorm silly ideas, build upon ideas of others; warmup lessens the pressure of having to think up brilliant ideas Photo 2 &3: Here are two brainstorming challenges: How do we get Mr. Lee off his device? How do we improve Mr. Lee's commute to work? Modeled @pixar's "plussing" (build upon ideas of others) Photo 4: Before doing this activity, we did a brainstorming session where Ss thought of diff ways of using paper clips in two minutes; we reflected on the atmosphere of the paper clip session and bad ideas session. They noticed how the bad ideas session was more fun and relaxed and resulted in some innovative ideas! #dtedu #dtk12chat #empathy2action #designthinking #appleeduchat #googleei #sastheloft #sasedu https://www.instagram.com/p/B2P1gTbhTCC/?igshid=13kjelxb30mne
