brianrozinsky Feb 13 @ 10:24 PM EST

Sounds like using design-thinking principles to spread word about & champion design thinking. (My mind reels.) #iledchat

TheSeaver1 Feb 13 @ 10:20 PM EST

A3:Use empathy-why does it matter to stakeholders that we approach learning like this? Because it's how we learn best-construction #iledchat

Flexible seating? Desks can be grouped and some students prefer to sit. Also gives work area to lay things out
