A list of the courses I took during LDT
A few projects I did during LDT
Sketchnoting
As I learn new things I like to capture them in a visual representation in order to better understand them and to be able to share them more easily with others. This is just a couple of examples from my work this year.
As a visual learner I like to draw things out and see them in front of me. Drawing has always been something I do naturally but with the addition of tool like Procreate and the iPad Pro, as well as world class lectures and classes, I’ve been able to create and share more of my work.
Curriculum Design
For the class Curriculum Construction, I was a part of a team that created a portfolio addition to enhance the existing Project Invent design thinking curriculum.
Project Invent’s overarching curriculum rationale is rooted in its mission to deliver “design thinking and invention programs to empower every student as an innovator.”
Portfolios are a key aspect of the design process that helps designers reflect on and showcase both their process and products.
My LDT Project Class.Board
Educational Escape Rooms
In January I built an educational escape room with Louie Montoya (my internship mentor at the d.school) and Mark and Ann from Breakout EDU.
The storyline was the Berlin Wall where we built two escape rooms side by side where attendees needed each others help in escaping from/breaking the wall.
Around 100 educators went through the experience at the d.schools Futures Fest and it was a huge hit!
About the project
Being a teacher is hard work. Planning lessons, teaching, maintaining a highly functioning work environment for the students and still keep up with the latest practices and pedagogical research. ‘Class.Board’ can help you with the tedious tasks of creating and managing groups, keeping students on track and helping with smooth transitions between activities all while helping teachers learn and use the right strategies to improve teaching and learning.
