Alice Rawsthorn: Pirates, nurses and other rebel designers | TED Talk

Alice Rawsthorn: Pirates, nurses and other rebel designers | TED Talk | Higher Education Teaching and Learning | Scoop.it
In this ode to design renegades, Alice Rawsthorn highlights the work of unlikely heroes, from Blackbeard to Florence Nightingale. Drawing a line from these bold thinkers to some early modern visionaries like Buckminster Fuller, Rawsthorn shows how the greatest designers are often the most rebellious.
Peter Mellow's insight:
A nice talk about how important design is to society.

The New Design Thinking for Educators Toolkit

The New Design Thinking for Educators Toolkit | Higher Education Teaching and Learning | Scoop.it

By Tim Brown

 

"A few months ago education expert Sandy Speicher was kind enough to share her thoughts with me on the question: What's different when you look at the world of education through the lens of design?

 

"Today I’m proud to share the newly relaunched Design Thinking for Educators toolkit. This toolkit supports teachers in using design thinking tools to become agents of change in their classrooms, schools, and communities by designing more effective curriculum, spaces, tools, and systems. Created in partnership with educators, the toolkit includes real-world classroom experiences and an accompanying workbook to help teachers determine which challenges to address.

"Please share this free toolkit with educators in your network, and tell us: What’s your favorite tool in the new Design Thinking for Educators Toolkit?"

Am wondering if this is equally useful for University level - can't see why not so far?
