DesignLearning

So... what is Design-Learning?

• Empathize

  The first step in the design process is to identify what people want and need.

  
• Visualize

  Designers begin to solve a problem by visualizing many different potential solutions or approaches.

  
• Prototype

  Testing ideas by making quick models, prototypes or mock-ups with easy to use and inexpensive materials helps designers clarify ideas and determine those that are most feasible.

  
• Produce

  Teachers should be sure to teach students how to generate ideas, visualize solutions and prototype possibilities before producing a final product.

  
• Present

  Students should learn how to present the results of their work in a clear and compelling manner.

  
• Assess

  Design is evaluated by how successfully it meets the needs of others in the real world.
