What's the difference between PBL and Design Thinking?
Bianca Hewes and some others were last night asking some good questions to seek out the difference between design thinking and project-based learning (PBL) as techniques for use in the classroom. These kinds of questions we explore through out workshops with educators around the world, and there's an explanation developing in a book I hope to release soon. In the meantime, here's a quick and dirty take on the question from me: For much of the past three years my colleagues and I been working through a specific innovation process with educators on the one hand, and non-education organisations on the other: media groups, technology startups, fashion companies, the UN, political parties... The process is design thinking. When we work with creative, government or political organisations, the approach is a logical extension of what they're doing, a welcome structure through which to explore a wider scope of a given challenge. 0. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Guest Lesson | For Authentic Learning, Start With Real Problems
We’ve asked the education writer Suzie Boss to do a series of guest lessons for us about using The Times Fixes blog, which explores solutions to major social problems, as inspiration for designing real-world projects for schools. This post, the first in our series, introduces the concept of “project-based learning” and suggests some ways in which this strategy can work with recent Fixes topics. For Authentic Learning, Start with Real Problems If your students are prone to asking, “When will we ever need to know this?” By sparking students’ interest in real issues that affect them and their peers around the world, you will give them cause to think more critically about what they are learning. Fixes, a series that is part of the Opinionator section of The New York Times, focuses on some of today’s most pressing social problems and the innovators working to solve them. The columnist Tina Rosenberg explains why teenagers hold the best answers for curbing smoking rates. P.B.L. For Example…? Ms.

Bloglovin, a design-conscious RSS meets Tumblr, gets Betaworks investment
When Mattias Swenson, Patrik Ring and their three co-founders first decided to launch a startup out of high school, the plan was to work on it for a year and then move on with their lives. Growing up in Stockholm, they said, they didn’t know of anyone else who gave up university for entrepreneurship. But more than five years later, they’re still at it. New York-based Internet company Betaworks is announcing today that it, along with former Glam CFO and Microsoft executive Bruce Jaffe, is making a “significant” investment in the startup. Initially launched in 2007 as Bloggkoll (which is Swedish for “to keep track of blogs”), the startup was intended to help fashion enthusiasts monitor content on their favorite blogs without going through the tedious process of opening up dozens of bookmarked websites. Betaworks: we look for engagement, design “The category is something that makes a ton of sense for us at Betaworks. “They bashed it,” said Swenson. The trend in visually interesting content
