Covid-19 has forced many educators to trial a new approach in teaching and learning, both using technology as well as not, to tackle challenges and potentials of the new normal. 

Design Thinking is a process of thinking that actively and systematically apply human-centered design methods to engage users and stakeholders in solving problems in their life, business, activities, communities and countries in creative and innovative manner. This approach has been used by a lot of companies and organizations, such as Apple, Google and Samsung and has been taught by many universities, such as Stanford, Harvard and MIT.
