Design Thinking for Educators
Educational institutions across the world are facing challenges every single day, from engaging with students on a meaningful level to the challenges educators are confronted with, which are real, complex, and varied. And as such, they require new perspectives, new tools, and new approaches. Design Thinking is one of them.
Design Thinking is the confidence that everyone can be part of creating a more desirable future, and a process to take action when faced with a difficult challenge. That kind of optimism is well needed in education. https://designthinkingforeducators.com. Powered by IDEO.
