“As it turns out, the unit was actually a great opportunity for the class to engage in a full design thinking process in order to own and develop solutions to the social media problems they experience. Having recently completed a design thinking certification with Future Design School, and equipped with their curriculum app, I was ready to go. When I presented the idea to the class, I had no clue which problems the students would identify. In fact, I expected to experience a bit of “say-what-the-teacher-wants-to-hear syndrome.” Yet I maintained hope that we could push past that and into their authentic concerns. What I did know was the students were going to own this unit entirely: the content focus, the resource curation and the product creation.” (more)
