Design+Thinking+Wiki

=Welcome to Design Thinking for the Classroom Wiki!=

Welcome to our wiki! Here you can explore the idea of using Design Thinking for the classroom. We believe design thinking is an ideal tool for teaching kids to be creative and innovative. David Kelley, the co-founder of IDEO, states that people who practice the design thinking process do become more creative. They develop a creative confidence that transforms them. They begin to see problems as opportunities.

We also believe that the design thinking process can help teachers tackle the shifting educational landscape. Design thinking has many Common Core and NETS standards, as well as 21st century skills imbedded in its process. It also provides a perfect framework in which to build projects and solve real-world problems. media type="custom" key="29482503"
