Join us to explore core approaches in user-centered design and to rebuild them for the educator: creating a responsive toolkit for educators to problem-solve and innovate in their schools!","Description":"There is much talk of \u201cdesign in education\u201d - applying design thinking principles to make change in schools and districts. Borrowing methods from this field can be refreshing\u2026 but not always relevant to educator-innovators. How might we \u201cedu-fy\u201d design tools to make them responsive to the educator\u2019s context? Join us for a hands-on session to explore key design approaches and build new versions that can empower educators to problem-solve and innovate in their schools! Together we\u2019ll go from designing education to edu-fying design\u2026 and leave with new tools for change-making in education.","Link":["http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/design4ed","http:\/\/izonenyc.org\/"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"Together, we\u2019ll go through a few design exercises. Grounded in these as examples, we\u2019ll work in small groups to produce new resources that can support educators in applying design principles to make change. Participants will leave with a new resource or tool for approaching change through design in an education context.","Presenter":["Cynthia Warner","Alana Laudone"],"PresenterAffiliation":["iZone (NYC Department of Education)"],"PresenterEmail":["cwarner3@schools.nyc.gov","alaudone@schools.nyc.gov"],"ScheduleSlotID":46,"ScheduleLocationID":15,"SubmitterID":79,"AdditionalComments":"We're excited to propose a conversation at EduCon... and can't wait to tap into the expertise that will be at the conference!
