Student Designed Lessons and Projects
Kim Stuart and Teagan Taylor, both graduate students at San Jose State School of Information, have created a sample learning experience centered in design thinking titled "Make Something to Make a Difference" at https://sites.google.com/view/prosthetichands/homeStudents design and build operational human hands, using 3D printers.
- What are students likely to learn in such an experience?
- Why are both the classroom teacher and the librarian valuable partners in mentoring such a project?
- Does "real" motivate learners to invent and create?
Mrs. Chaney and Ms. Hatcher Day, two graduate students in the School of Information at San Jose State University created this learning experience using the design thinking model. This one could be adapted to almost any grade level and centers on trying to solve behavior problems or social problems in the lunch room.
- Notice that the library learning commons becomes an extension of the classroom space. What are the advantages?
- Take note of the Big Think in the lesson plan since it is a metacognitive look back at the learning experience.
- What is the likelihood that students can actually make a difference. Are there strategies that you would add to make it even more powerful?
SJSC students explore a number of problems in their school and design ways to solve them.
