W072$ | Taking PBL To The Next Level With Design Thinking (Room 244-245)

Current educational practices often produce students who are simply Problem Solvers, instead of Problem Seekers. Sound technology integration in the classroom provides opportunities for students to hone skills in Collaboration, Creativity, Communication, Choice, and Curiosity. Problem-Based Learning, done correctly, provides students with incredible opportunities to discover knowledge and share their findings with a global audience. But what if we could go further? Join us as we will examine what makes a good PBL lesson but also how the individual facets of Design Thinking can help students go deeper. Participants will engage in both PBL and Design Thinking activities while exploring how current and emerging technologies can support both. BYOD.
