Do you see the person? it is one person’s possessions
Strawberry cheesecake is ALWAYS the Answer!!
Like all is right with the world! Strawberry cheesecake and milk...OMG!!!!!!
A7: why? How? I wonder? What if? Saw a man and all his possessions on my way home and wondered all these questions
4 Discover Point A Separate Piece How cld this novel be a challenge in the waiting?

I failed a whole lot at igniting curiosity & wonder today despite my best efforts-wonder how other people ignite student thinking
A7 Why is this a safe/acceptable place to rest -- compared to other places out there?
A7: Airport: be at the gate early and wait. What can kids do while waiting to board?
I asked a type of Q during #@ericjuli What ignites your curiosity? Thinking?
A8 For "Hmmmm...." Depart from an "I See/I Think/I Wonder" journaling exercise, then discussion. Re-framing art history exercise.
A8: pallet-what can we make? What need can we fill? What problem can we solve with this/these pallets?
A8/2 Then invite students to isolate something from their "See/Think/Wonder" list, and question-storm.
Playgrnd: Visit diff. playgrounds. watch kids. Visit neighborhoods, watch kids. Put kids here, watch ki… https://t.co/1IaDruVjsi
8 Discover: How wld U as facilitator launch N2 a challenge around 1 of these Discover Point… https://t.co/th42lrsJdK
I believe you & have some pallet experiences
They could double as TSA security.
A7: airports are not designed for families. HMW(families) occupy the same space as the business traveller?
We didn't build cool houses, but we did some fun stuff!
yes and feed them after midnight whilst swimming in a pool.
No but what challenge did you do Eric??? Come on Now, you gotta know!!
I would second that my friend! We need some therapy sessions!
What value is a shape? Prove it was a good one
A8: engage the scenario myself first. then interact w/those in the experience
8) The shopping cart fort thing intrigues me. Who uses it? Why? Maybe a game camera would help us build empathy.
9.5 For the "Hmmm..." image: I'd seek someone serving our local homeless whom our MS students might interview. Then, empathy map.
Value came from U as the Design Thinker & your Ss the Users U saw their desire needs Created solutions
Today the school just needed me 2stop yelling-But most days, hopefully you're right.
HMW avoid "giving the Other (in this case user) the mic fallacy with the empathy phase of DT?
9.5/2 Attempt controlled research on local homelessness. This, to me, would require some set-up to avoid generalizing real pain.
Yes and looks like a baby carseat Wonder how easy it is to get groceries & bring newborn shopping
A10: playground photo-users-all the s's at schools without space to play. Where to find it and how to create it?
Yes, getting on with it tomorrow.
yes and wouldn't it be cool to explore "those neat TSA toys"?
A10 Service day at Dorothy's Kitchen in Salinas. Authentic interaction in controlled environment.
10 Observation without interference like a Prime Directive? Does observing affect conditions?
I pray every day that I am better 'tomorrow' than 'today.' It is all we can do. https://t.co/tQPeyyWHYp
Today the school just needed me 2stop yelling-But most days, hopefully you're right.
A11: It looks sunny. Hot? Outside all day? Hard to keep track of belongings? Exhausting to do that? Any bathrooms...?
A11 silence spks volumes. Absence is a strong presence. Users elsewhere? Let's talk abt that.
I believe more and more in Immerse. Observe. Engage as an Empathy Must
12 Empathize What needs seem2 come through your User? Whats the voice of your User? (understand we R suspending a little)
Love that sees users, needs and design solutions everywhere. Now that's a super power!
A12 "Where can I keep my life belongings safe without me being there with them all the time?"
Sometimes you have days where you just want to cry, scream, or something AND, you wake up the next day and hope is there.
A12/2 "Where can I go to take a nap during the daytime, and not get harrassed? (Or, photographed...?)
HM(I) get the things I need when I need them and not have them when I don't?
A12: homeless man-what's the problem that needs to be solved here? Is it what to do with belongings or how did I get here?
I love that you went beyond concrete Its not abt homeless This is a person…
noooorm! Quickly saying hello!!
I like how it could be both & more
13 Empathize: If U can, Define your User’s POV (understanding this is 140 character twitter) User + Needs a Way= Insight
Maybe depends on the method/intrusiveness of observer? If observer blends in well, becomes familiar fixture, perhaps not?
A12 voice is distant, longing. U needs less open, more 2 explore, b/c U is elsewhere, exploring. needs elevation, enclsd spaces
hello!! So wish I could be on this chat!! Gotta fill me in. Gotta run!
Man, I feel like I am missing out on a lot of tonight's ... Just trying to follow along!
Right now I am totally empathizing with all my teachers who don't understand how to do Twitter chats.
Too much (not really) good stuff from folks tonight!
A13 Everyman needs a safe, shady place to rest so as to have a chance to step off the treadmill of daily subsistence.
I always know you are around
I have to wonder as we wonder, how to do this with students for whom wondering and curiosity is their kryptonite
Sounds like real ethnographic work like my ethnomusicology days. Requires A LOT of reflection; placing Self in check
A14 HMW offer accessible, safe shelter for Everyman's belongings during daylight hours?
Trust the process Nuggets of goodness will trickle out
A14/2 HMW offer Everyman a sabbath from daily survival?
A14 HMW reimagine playgrounds as whole community spaces to enable cx gen play and reinvent leisure for all people
Have there really been 13 questions! That's a helluva lot of questions--and the hour ain't up yet!
Loving the insights & reframes in the thread! C things in new & different ways!That's empathy!Wish I could stay!
A14/3 HMW provide Everyman an artistic outlet to offer safe place to express himself and share his story?
I spoke to a smart, h.s. senior, who said "The future of school is in homeschooling and co-ops." Disagree/agree?
15 Experiment Select a HMW…? & collab on some brainstormin solutions 2 HMW?s Share out ideas (Understand we R suspending)
15.5 Experiment mode is all abt the Flare, The Flow… HMW… Ideation. Prototyping Iteration.
POV: HMW bring life's necessities to those who arent moving towards them? (treating w/dignity and grace)
A15 Everyman's Storage - Create a partnership between a self-storage facility and food bank/transitional services for Everym(e)n.
A15/2 Everyman's Care Center - Create room at available self-storage facility and portable showers and wifi/computer access.
We might as well...I learn everything from https://t.co/txA9oJU1uR
We should talk about the how of what you're doing instead of listening to 😜
Hahahahahah --> really is the King of all things creative, insightful & delight!
A15.5 Plgrnds near pub transit. Terraforming to elevate kids even in flatlands. Game spaces for elderly to engage with Ks.
HMW help the homeless man find the agency to believe himself that this situation is a solvable challenge?
A15/3 (Thinking aloud) Everyman's Storage - A MOBILE storage/wifi laptop access spot, during business hours, near needful serv.
sanitizing stations where the few possessions can be cleaned/sanitized and stored until needed again.
16 Produce mode: Collect feedback on your ideas… Is this possible via twitter?
YAAAAS. With wifi-enabled laptops for email/general connection.... https://t.co/7wXoFXelr3
sanitizing stations where the few possessions can be cleaned/sanitized and stored until needed again.
OR.... With a trade-in option. "Sanitize and have this -- and maybe I could have that...?" https://t.co/7wXoFXelr3
sanitizing stations where the few possessions can be cleaned/sanitized and stored until needed again.
A15.5 Shuffbrd with tutors on staff, benches near ponds for elderly and Ps of kids, Xgenerational game tournaments

16.5 Only 15 minutes left… 4 those on the ropes You Got This
Whew this is fast! And I was already tired from the day!!
Ss came up w/food truck style delivery of services to where the live
A15 I like learning from elderly people I wish they weren't always sleeping, I wonder if I could break away and explore on own.
And imagine the available StoryCorps moment -- IF it was welcomed...? https://t.co/WnDKqFwaH2
Ss came up w/food truck style delivery of services to where the live
Must be the Cleveland air... We got Cali Love on the West Coast! https://t.co/UkWHQiHoNF
Your mutual admiration society is amazing (read making me nauseous)
Yes and the "trade ins" spots could be managed by
Such thoughtfulness. I hope the future holds a co-op environment learning place for all students w/in school walls.
I've got a bunch of homeless s's and families-the last thing they want us to know is they are homeless-
I work as an online educator. How will learning plans will be monitored & accreditation? What software tracks plans?
I feel like would CRUSH this, right?
... but for now schools are also childcare.
Nothing but love here in The Land
Howdy! It's a wild ride tonight! is trailblazing & folks are following at full speed :)
Wow.
I hear that.
[Pause.]
Thanks.
https://t.co/Sh4Svsr3OJ
I've got a bunch of homeless s's and families-the last thing they want us to know is they are homeless-
Thank you- I'm lost here :)
Why would software be needed to monitor learning?
Homeschool kids already are proving themselves. Do you really need gov. tracking?
rebrand This is such an important story, nonetheless.
We try to do all you are thinking about in ways where no one knows it's happening
I'll still be thinking about this chat tomorrow! Tx for making my brain work :)
That is some invisible gospel work, right there. (The best kind....) https://t.co/Sh4Svsr3OJ
I've got a bunch of homeless s's and families-the last thing they want us to know is they are homeless-
yes, good Ts (who think/feel with empathy) realize "all Ss need a powerful positive message from T," do it.
Why will homeschool and co-ops become larger? Entreprenuership vs. corporate mindset. Student-centered learning. :-)
Over 23 prompts with various rabbit holes 4 Peeps 2 follow Like throwing Pop Its to see who jumps
& healthcare & family counseling & ...
maybe not kryptonite-but in my inner city HS, s's struggle to see value in wonder/curiosity bcse it's mostly absent
