Introduction
This first module’s goal is to provide you with an introduction into Design Thinking and get you thinking about how you can use it in your professional context. In addition, you will be exposed to different types of edtech along the way, both in this module and across the later modules, so you can leverage the edtech for your own purposes! I hope you engage and learn from both the activities and content as well as our classmates’ ideas! Remember, learning is not an isolated activity, even if you’re learning asynchronously online!
Design Thinking Outcome
Students will be able to explain what wicked problems are and share a wicked problem that impacts their professional practice by engaging a Digital Gallery Walk activity.
EdTech Integration Outcome
Students will be able to use edtech to share their thinking about Design Thinking and wicked problems by posting to the Design Thinking Padlet and responding to a classmate’s Digital Gallery Walk post.
Student Learning Outcome
By completing this module, students will be able to articulate a “wicked program” that is important to them.
