Reinventing School - A Design Thinking Challenge

Mission: Encourage life-long learning, promote alternative learning environments and equip you with 21st Century skills.

by Your Learning Partner - Brendan

Mission: Encourage life-long learning, promote alternative learning environments and equip you with 21st Century skills.

The Reinventing School challenge is hands on, encourages discussion of the issues facing learners today and empowers young people, teachers and other members of the community to come up with solutions and share them for all to benefit.

Challenge 1. What does an ideal learning environment look like? 

Guiding questions:

  1. What inspires you to learn?
  2. What learning innovation have you used to teach or learn?
  3. How might teachers, parents, and students work in a partnership of learning? 
  4. How might we design the classroom of the future?

Students, teachers and subject matter experts from all over are invited to get involved and collaborate. Form or join a team and research, ideate, design, remix and prototype new possibilities to reinvent the school experience.

The challenge can take place in or out of the school environment and teams can be a diverse mix of students, teachers, parents, business people. Teams can even be made up from people from different locations in the world, in fact we encourage students from Australia to collaborate with classrooms from other places.

Instructors

Hello, I am a Dad, a versalist addicted to creative pursuits. A passionate designer, digital producer, educator and changemaker, I live life on purpose and I nurture talent wherever I go.

I love to know why and how, and I am eternally expanding and sharing my knowledge.... Born in Puerto Rico, well traveled, I now live in Melbourne Australia.

I am a online publisher/community manager and member of the Telstra social media team. That all means I look after a customer facing corporate blog.

I am also the curator of various social innovation projects and lead a team of designers, educators and subject matter experts. Together we collaborate and host online and offline events, classes and other fun stuff designed to effect positive change.

For example, ideas@play is a program that uses design, technology, social media and play to engage and empower young people effect positive change in their communities.

  • How long do I have access to the course materials?

    You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.
