Module 5 Assignments

3. Each part will reflect a different part of the Design Thinking process.

4. As a group identify a problem you want to solve (this can be in education, like redesigning the classroom or a world issue, like how to utilize public spaces for community gardens or it can be something from your curriculum). You will design ONE COLLABORATIVE lesson using the Design Thinking (DT) process to help students solve the problem your team identified.

5. Once you’ve decided on the problem you want to solve, use the design thinking process to develop the lesson plan students would follow to solve this problem. You can decide as a group how to plan for each step in DT. For example, each member can develop one DT step for the lesson or you can divide the steps among team members and have a couple of people work on each step:

• • • • 1. Empathy

        2. Define

        3. Ideate

        4. Prototype

        5. Test

6. If your group has less than five people, you can divide the group into partners that can work on a couple of steps.

7. Create a Google Presentation to curate your group's lesson according to the directions below in #8. Depending on your instructor, a template may have been created for you.

8. Each group member/team must create slides that present their DT step(s) and the Web 2.0 tool that facilitates it. The slides must clearly identify the DT step and include:

• • A short description of what the Web 2.0 tool does, how it facilitates the DT process in that particular step, and a link to its homepage.

  • The level of Bloom's Digital Taxonomy the tool best supports and why.

  • A list of the Common Core Anchor Standards, Standards for Mathematical Practice or Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) which are addressed using this tool. (See below for Media/Technology Specific Standards in the College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards)

  • A statement of how the tool could be used to support student learning.

  • An image or screen capture that shows the tool’s logo.

  • A student sample of your DT activity using the Web 2.0 tool you have chosen. This sample can be created by an actual student or one you create as if you are a student.

  • The name(s) of the person who created the slide(s).
