"In June 2011 NoTosh kicked off a Design Thinking programme with the teachers and senior leadership team of the newly built Mark Oliphant College in Adelaide, Australia. How could a new building, South Australia’s first purpose-built birth-to-18 years community learning facility, and new technology in spades make a difference to learning and teaching culture?"

"Testing is part of an iterative process that provides students with feedback. The purpose of testing is to learn what works and what doesn’t, and then iterate. This means going back to your prototype and modifying it based on feedback. Testing ensures that students learn what works and what doesn’t work for their users."

"
In this video of Make/Think, the recent AIGA Design Conference, Roger Martin, dean of the Joseph L. Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, makes the case that businesses can do a better job of innovating if they embrace design thinking. He examines how companies can combine analysis and intuition to transform themselves into successful design-thinking organizations, integrating the future with the past in a constructive way." -

"When we're working with teachers on our take on Design Thinking, one of the hardest concepts of change for folk to get their head around is that teachers can teach a lot less to achieve much more. In that initial "immersion" into an exploratory area, students need plenty of content made available to them, but they don't need taught it. They just need rich resource and time. Here's how some of our Brisbane Design Thinking School teachers approach that immersion stage, by trusting their students and doing their best to "get out of the way of learning":

Key Phase "How might we"
-
It's not complicated: The "how might we" approach to innovation ensures that would-be innovators are asking the right questions and using the best wording. Proponents of this increasingly popular practice say it's surprisingly effective — and that it can be seen as a testament to the power of language in helping to spark creative thinking and freewheeling collaboration.

"An original and helpful voice on this landscape of digital connection for which there are no maps. Seth Godin is a singular thought leader and innovator in what he describes as our post-industrial, post-geography "connection economy." Rather than merely tolerate change, he says, we are all called now to rise to it. We are invited and stretched in whatever we do to be artists — to create in ways that matter to other people"

innovation is powered by athorough understanding, through direct observation, of whatpeople want and need in their lives and what they like or dis-like about the way particular products are made, packaged,marketed, sold, and supported

By taking a “people first” approach, designthinkers can imagine solutions that are inherentlydesirable and meet explicit or latent needs. Greatdesign thinkers observe the world in minutedetail. They notice things that others do not anduse their insights to inspire innovation

But at the Nueva School in Hillsborough, Calif., a small, private school for grades K-8, design thinking is part of every class and subject, and has been integrated throughout the curriculum with support from a dedicated Innovation Lab or the iLab.

"The Nueva School is the leading pioneer in teaching design thinking and design engineering to students in grades preK–8. Building on forty-five years of experience in inquiry-based projects and extensive knowledge about guiding student teams, our teachers have transformed existing curricula and invented entirely new units that utilize and enhance design-thinking skills. We share what we learn with other schools through on-site tours, our Innovative Learning Conference, presentations at national conferences, and our Design Thinking Institute for teachers."

My daughter's comment is ironic: She knows I've spent the past decade researching how young people are learning differently because of the abundance of knowledge and social connections in today's networked world. But in certain ways, our interactions are also typical of struggles that many families are facing in balancing the competitive pressures of college-readiness, the need for unstructured learning and socializing, and the role of the Internet in all of that.

Empathy is at the heart of design. Without the understanding of what others see, feel, and experience, design is a pointless task. When communicated as it is in this video, empathy can be truly inspirational.
