Welcome to the Virtual Crash Course in Design Thinking Welcome to the d.school’s Virtual Crash Course resource page! We know not everyone can make a trip to the d.school to experience how we teach design thinking. So, we created this online version of one of our most frequently sought after learning tools. Using the video, handouts, and facilitation tips below, we will take you step by step through the process of hosting or participating in a 90 minute design challenge. If you choose to participate, in 90 minutes you will be taken through a full design cycle by participating in The Gift-Giving Project. This is a fast-paced project where participants pair up to interview each other, identify real needs, and develop a solution to “redesign the gift-giving experience” for their partner. Through this experience we hope you will take away some of the basic principles of Design Thinking and start to adapt them into your personal and professional routines. Below, you will find three sections: Gear Up!

Brains | Permanent Beta Permanent Beta verbindt graag slimme, lieve en energieke doeners aan elkaar. Om dit te realiseren organiseren we regelmatig workshops, presentaties of andere meetup’s in Amersfoort. De onderwerpen variëren enorm. Zo zijn energie, slimmer werken, duurzaamheid, netwerken en onze toekomst bijvoorbeeld onderwerpen waar we het vaak over hebben. Check onze agenda hier of meld een onderwerp hier aan. Tech Technologie is sneller in ontwikkeling dan ooit. Culture Dingen doen die nut hebben, zingeving, relevantie. Connecting the Collaborative Economy Tough Talk: A Toolbox for Medical Educators Just as with patient care, not all your teaching encounters will go smoothly. The goal in both situations is not to be perfect, but rather to be aware of potential challenges and to develop strategies for addressing them when they (inevitably) come up. We have identified a few of the most common challenges that we have faced when doing skill practice work with medical trainees. Resisting the Role Play. There are very few learners who embrace role play work right from the beginning. "This just seems unreal. One way to respond to this challenge is by anticipating it and addressing it upfront. You can also ask how they learned other clinical skills. Finally, you can simply ask the learners to humor you. Questioning the Content. "How do we know this works. Many of these challenges from the learners reflect misconceptions about what the skill is asking them to do. FACULTY: The other thing I want to mention is social chitchat. Limited Self-Assessment Abilities. Group Dynamics.

5 | Frog Creates An Open-Source Guide To Design Thinking Brainstorming, whether you believe in it or shun it, is a fantastic neologism. But as Frog Principal Designer David Sherwin has found, it’s also a very American word--one that doesn’t exist in every language. “We were in Bangladesh, trying to translate the idea into Bengali,” says Sherwin, remembering a recent trip his team spent working with teenage girls on community issues. “One of the translators on our team wrote up on the board, brain + storm. Sherwin’s experience touches on a crucial problem for many NGOs and foundations attempting to transpose Western methods of social innovation to other cultures. Today, Frog will release the Collective Action Toolkit, a free, 72-page booklet that seeks to develop a universal framework for people of all ages and cultural backgrounds to tackle big problems in their communities. Sherwin and Fabricant didn’t set out to build the Toolkit--in fact, it grew out of a separate project that clearly demonstrated its necessity.

Innotribe at Sibos Osaka: Digital Asset Grid This blog post shares some more details about the Digital Asset Grid session. The session Digital Asset Grid will take place on Wednesday 31 Oct 2012 from 16:00 till 17:30 in the Conference Room-3. It is part of the Main Conference sessions of Sibos. The overall Innotribe Program at Sibos here, and I try to keep that post up-to-date with the very latest speaker and program announcements. I have written extensively about the Digital Asset Grid in previous blog posts. Most recently in Banks-as-a-Platform and the Cambrian Explosion of Everything, all reflections on what it means to live in a hyper-connected world, to be immersed in the digital age. We swim in a sea of data and the sea level is rising rapidly. A new environment requires a new design. The digital age and making the new design presents both threats and opportunities for Banks: The Digital Asset Grid is a research project by Innotribe, SWIFT’s Innovation initiative for enabling collaborative innovation. What we will show-case is:

Des livres pour inventer ensemble un futur désirable présenté par Les Propulseurs The project Hier, on croyait pouvoir prévoir le futur. Aujourd’hui, on sait qu’on doit l’inventer. Dans ce contexte, une évidence s’impose : ce futur sera plus désirable s’il est inventé par le plus grand nombre et en particulier par ceux qui vont le vivre. => L’objectif de la collection de livre est de fournir les clés d’information permettant d’inventer le futur. Les innovations technologiques et sociales, les recherches et les expérimentations dessinent demain. => Les livres de la collection présentent ces innovations et les mettent en scène dans différents formats : Le ton ludique humanise la réflexion sur le futur et la rend accessible à des néophytes. La collection utilise les atouts du numérique. Imprimés à la demande * Les livres sont commandés et imprimés. Actualisables en quelques clics Les livres sont en permanence décoiffés par l’intégration des dernières innovations et recherches ainsi que par les contributions des lecteurs ou participants à des ateliers.

Positive outcomes. | Inclusion Quality Mark Great Expectations. It’s all about the pupils and how they are enticed, encouraged and cajoled to learn, and how the teachers enthuse, engage, guide and mentor, tweaking lessons to ensure best possible outcomes. The #ukedchat Twitter discussion on Thursday 29th November 2012, was focused on differentiation. There was evidence of polarised views, from those who actively articulated the route towards personalised applications of differential thinking through personal target setting, to the opposite view that differentiation was not a part of their thinking. It is worth reflecting on the Teaching Standards as they are currently determined. One of my freelance roles is with trainee teachers, so much of my time is spent seeking ways to explore and explain the intricacies of teaching practice. The areas for development are linked; standards 6, 5 and 2. Once tasks are given, (standards 3 and 4) within a differentiated format, providing expectation of outcome, and
