Q1: what is design thinking/learning? #5thchat

mr_foutz May 2 @ 8:07 PM EDT

I'm Ian Foutz. A 5th Grade teacher in CA. Doing my 1st Twitter chat. #5thchat

Mr_Ullman May 2 @ 8:08 PM EDT

@cjteach2 Welcome! You're in for a great time! #5thchat

In reply to @mr_foutz, @cjteach2

PaulSolarz - Moderator May 2 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1 - Here is a graphic I found online. (I've always called it "Design Thinking" but this specifically calls it "Design Learning.") #5thchat

cjteach2 May 2 @ 8:08 PM EDT

- Students being curious, problem solving, finding meaningful solutions to their choices... #5thchat

In reply to @mrsseibel5th

PaulSolarz - Moderator May 2 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1 - We use Design Thinking to analyze problems & come up with solutions (Entrepreneurship, Passion Time). https://t.co/5wyL986lLU #5thchat

mrsseibel5th - Moderator May 2 @ 8:09 PM EDT

#5thchat A1: I am still learning on this topic but to me the Ss are more involved in the learning

MrBaskwill May 2 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1: It fits very well with Project Based Learning, delivering key questions and problems to solve and the method to do it #5thchat

Mr_Ullman May 2 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1 Anything that has "design" in the name implies that Ss will be creating, and actively learning, not just passive spectators #5thchat

mr_foutz May 2 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: Thanks, @PaulSolarz. Design learning seems Genius Hour-esque, where design learning is more like curiosity w/in a topic. #5thchat

Mrs_SGregory May 2 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: It is similar to problem-based learning in that it is student-centered and flexible #5thchat

mrsseibel5th - Moderator May 2 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Q2: IS there a difference better PBL, STEAM, and Design thinking?#5thchat

Mr_Ullman May 2 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Hey there! #5thchat

In reply to @TNording

PaulSolarz - Moderator May 2 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Q2 - Is there a difference between PBL, STEAM, and Design Thinking? If so, what are the differences? #5thchat

In reply to @mrsseibel5th

MrBaskwill May 2 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2: I think PBL and Design Learning are pretty similar, and STEAM can fit within each system, but is not a stand alone idea #5thchat

mrsseibel5th - Moderator May 2 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2: I found this article! #5thchat https://t.co/7QgFGMCdlN

Mr_Ullman May 2 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Sometimes I think we get too caught up in the names of things instead of focusing on how this should be changing our teaching #5thchat

cjteach2 May 2 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2: No; they should all involve, overlap and integrate with each other to be a truly valuable, authentic learning experience. #5thchat

CAMathTeacher May 2 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Mrs_SGregory May 2 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2: I think they are all similar in that they are getting Ss to think critically and beyond just the facts. #5thchat

mrsseibel5th - Moderator May 2 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2: I feel like I get a bew name for basically the same concept #5thchat

PaulSolarz - Moderator May 2 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2 - This has been my "Go-to" resource on Design Thinking: https://t.co/n4cmfQUYtP #5thchat

Chemteach201 May 2 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2. PBL and Design thinking can help integrate STEAM into learning. Real STEAM contains aspects of both #5thchat

mrsseibel5th - Moderator May 2 @ 8:19 PM EDT

QUESTION 3 COMING UP #5thchat

This also resembles @ajjuliani 's LAUNCH cycle...#5thchat

In reply to @PaulSolarz, @ajjuliani

mr_foutz May 2 @ 8:20 PM EDT

PBL and Design Thinking are very similar. STEAM would be some of the areas in which those approaches could be used. And in History! #5thchat

mrsseibel5th - Moderator May 2 @ 8:21 PM EDT

Q3: what are some examples of Design thinking lessons that have worked well in your classroom? #5thchat

Mr_Ullman May 2 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3 oooh...got my listening ears on for the answers to this question! #5thchat

mr_foutz May 2 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3: Sadly, other than Genius Hour, I haven't really used "DT" strategies. Too much "necessary curriculum." Thoughts, anyone? #5thchat

Mr_Ullman May 2 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3 Haven't tried it yet, but was thinking of having Ss design and test a frisbee golf course on our recess field! #5thchat

PaulSolarz - Moderator May 2 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A3: "Entrepreneurship" My students have created 5 companies based on the Design Thinking process: https://t.co/aHJTgdEE1n #5thchat

#5thchat will try a design thinking, student-led classroom redesign in August! Would love ideas from those who've done it!

Mr_Ullman May 2 @ 8:24 PM EDT

I have some of the same problems sometimes...good start is trying to find ways to tie in that curriculum. #5thchat

In reply to @mr_foutz

Mrs_SGregory May 2 @ 8:25 PM EDT

I have never used Design Thinking in my classroom. I have used PBLs several times on pollution issues and animal treatment #5thchat

Mr_Ullman May 2 @ 8:25 PM EDT

#geniushour is a great start! #5thchat

In reply to @mr_foutz

Twanayoung May 2 @ 8:31 PM EDT

MrBaskwill May 2 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A4: Sewing machine, 3D printer, makey makey, littlebits, tons of maker material cardboard, metallic bits, popsicle sticks #5thchat

PaulSolarz - Moderator May 2 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A4 - Lots of garage sale items (arts & crafts supplies) - Lucky to have shelves next door to store everything! #5thchat

Twanayoung May 2 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A3: I helped develop a free game design unit using Engineering Design Principles. Ss create own math games. https://t.co/OE6fVqatbI #5thchat

mr_foutz May 2 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A5: Can't think of any big "secret" to how to give Ss control. The harder part is designing projects/experiences worth their time. #5thchat

daniellecaryn May 2 @ 8:39 PM EDT

#5thchat A5 S run book clubs, persuasive debates on issues chosen/brainstormed by Ss...like coed schools, music while studying, consumerism

PaulSolarz - Moderator May 2 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A5 - My kids run a student-led classroom (daily) where they have permission to make decisions freely - I give feedback when needed! #5thchat

mrsseibel5th - Moderator May 2 @ 8:40 PM EDT

Q6: Do your Ss have choice on prohects? What are some examples of their choice? #5thchat

MrBaskwill May 2 @ 8:41 PM EDT

On a side note @extraordinaires is great for design thinking @jsnhubbard #5thchat

Mr_Ullman May 2 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A6 Ss have choices about how to present, topics (w/in genres), materials to use, etc. #5thchat

PaulSolarz - Moderator May 2 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A6 - My Ss choose their Passion Time projects (we do 6 each year). I assist in writing Essential Questions: https://t.co/8RoWa6Fk58 #5thchat

Mr_Ullman May 2 @ 8:42 PM EDT

That's huge! Buy-in from Ss is crucial. If they're not engaged, it's a struggle! #5thchat

In reply to @mr_foutz

MrBaskwill May 2 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A6: lots of choices, often topic and how to research and how to present #5thchat

Mr_Ullman May 2 @ 8:44 PM EDT

Think I may break it down along those lines next year...giving firmer presentation dates might help Ss avoid "the Suck" #5thchat

mr_foutz May 2 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A7: I'll be darned if I know, but that's the big question. Hopefully a #5thchat like tonight can be a starting point for newbies like me.

PaulSolarz - Moderator May 2 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A7 - A constant presence by me ensures students are attentive to the process. Innovation comes from time & divergent thinking. #5thchat

Q8: As we close out our school years, what is one new thing you want to explore? #5thchat
