Design Thinking II (Christine and Elizabeth)
b'In our Podcast, we focused on a Ted Talk by TIm Brown about Design Thinking, and an article by Donaid A. Sch\\xf6n (Department of Urban Studies and Planning) titled \\u201cTeaching and learning as a design transaction.\\u201d Our conversation centered around communication and the issues surrounding the inherent misunderstandings that result. We used the examples from the video and article to illustrate this. We discussed the need for \\u201cgiving reason\\u201d and \\u201creciprocal reflection\\u201d as important pieces to Design Thinking. We also discussed the \\u201cSilent Game\\u201d and what teachers can take away from this activity. Our thoughts were focused on the need for awareness of multiple visions, the art of observation and reflection, to never make assumptions, and to embrace the excitement of discovery for both teacher and students. We closed with our thoughts on the bravery and leap of faith the education system must take to incorporate Design Thinking into the classroom.'
