To say that my brain hurt after this Saturday\u2019s Face 2 Face session at The York School<\/a> is probably something of an understatement. I am still processing, pondering and reflecting on everything I learned, heard and experienced. I spoke to so many people, yet also managed to find some quiet time to reflect and think. To achieve that in a single day\u2019s PD session is quite unusual, and kudos to our C21 leaders for creating a learning environment in which that can happen!<\/p>\n

We followed the Design Thinking process, as outlined by Design Thinking for Educators<\/a>, from its beginning. From identifying a potential problem or issue, to brainstorming solutions, to sharing, listening and offering feedback, what started as an individual journey at the beginning of the day had turned into something of a group project by lunchtime, and then a very do-able target by the end of the day! The gallery walk-through of ideas was incredibly powerful; some of the problems other Cohort members wanted to investigate were things that had bothered me for years, and others I had never even considered before, but YES! OF COURSE! Seeing this gallery of incredible ideas, and listening to input from colleagues, I realised just how incredibly talented and diverse CIS faculty are, as well as how far teaching and learning has come since I started my job twelve years ago.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll save the specifics of my potential Action Plan for another post, but wanted to reflect on my thoughts on Design Thinking immediately. The Design Thinking process was incredibly useful and is definitely one I\u2019d use in the future when pondering big\u00a0projects. I tend to be a \u2018come up with two potential solutions and choose one\u2019 kind of person, whereas the potential of \u2018Crazy Eights\u2019 in Design Thinking is huge!\u00a0So now, onto thinking about my action plan\u2026<\/p>\n
