    Background

    • The design process is at the center of our work together this summer.

    Task

    • We invite you to visually represent or model your own design process using some digital tool.
    • You can capture how you design or make anything — whether it’s related to your work as a teacher educator or not.
    • You can share your typical design process, or create a vision for a more idealized or aspirational design process.
    • We think doing this will help you learn a new digital tool, and to help you think intentionally about your design process in advance of our work together this summer.

    To complete this task:

    To visualize your design process, select and use a digital tool  – preferably one that’s new to you or that you want more practice with. You can use one of the ones we recommend below, or locate your own.

    NOTE: Some of these require you to create accounts. If you’d like, take a look at the privacy policies of these tools to see if the benefits of signing up would outweigh the risks for you.

    Stuck?

    • Consult any online tutorials the tool may have on their site
    • Try sketching something on paper first, or do some free-writing to generate ideas about how you generally go about design!
    • Make multiple “rapid prototype” iterations until something feels right.
    • If you’re stuck on something, we encourage you to troubleshoot. Google around, use your colleagues as resources, or go to our help sessions on Mondays!

    To Share:

    • Reply to this thread.
    • Add a brief reflection:
      • Share something new you learned about the tool you used.
      • Did you look at the privacy policy? Did anything stand out there?
      • Share any limitations of the tool that you used that you discovered.
    • You can share your work as a link, or an attachment to this discussion thread
    • If you’d like to embed an image in your post, you’ll have to upload it somewhere first (for example at imgur). Then use the image icon in the discussion forum to link to it.

    I made a presentation of my design process using Canva, a platform that I have been wanting to try for quite a while.

    I did look at the privacy policy. It said that if you log in using a third party, like facebook etc, the third party can have access to your work. The problem is that there isn’t a way to log into Canva without the use of a third party! Or not that I could find…

    I’m sharing a link to my Canva presentation. I’ll definitely use Canva again– the templates are beautiful and it wasn’t very hard to use.

    I was influenced by the Liberatory Design Model which I read about on the Module #3 Padlet. I really liked what they said about the gift of feedback and the value of inquiry when the way is not clear.

    Here is the link to my presentation:

    I created a remix-ish of the Liberatory Design.   I think the important aspects of Loopy were for me to demonstrate the ideas as fluid, changing, and always coming full circle to engage and empathy and Action.    I think it was a little clunky – my idea that is, but the process of understanding how the thinking of Liberatory Design happens is important to all my work.  I attached my screenshot from Loopy and I think i might create another one because you cant press play.  I also use this design in all my work with teachers.  Having them identify the students they are working with and making sure to highlight community.

    I found the Design Thinking for Educators a useful and detailed approach to a task I plan to embark on. However, I initially wanted to try out the Padlet to design the project but I found it was not the best fit for what I planned to do. However, I do plan on using it for other projects.

    I ended up using Canva to create the design for a project I will be engaged in. I created an account to use the tool and used the free account rather than signing up for the Pro account, although notices kept popping up for account upgrade. However, could not locate info on 3rd party reference made earlier.

    I am sharing the link to the graph that outlines the project:

    I am vastly interested in these design loops…I have a lot of anxiety around how some of this works though. I used Loopy..which seems to be a great design process, as soon as I wrap my brain around the how’s….

    I tried out Miro, since I did not have experience using this tool. I used my google account to create a new account, so I had to give Miro access to my personal gmail. I think about the limitations of doing this and wonder if I should create a ccny gmail account in order to not use my personal gmail.

    Miro seems like a really great tool to use for mind mapping, brainstorming, and creating flowcharts. I think I need to play around with it a bit more to really get a sense for its strengths and limitations.

    Here is a link to my own design process visual, which was inspired by the NEP’s liberatory design model.
