 Okay, good afternoon everybody. Can you hear me all right? Well, I'm I've got an impossible mission now. It's four o'clock in the afternoon when come it's very hot and Your stomachs are full. I guess because I hope you have eaten and drunk a lot So my impossible mission is to prevent you from falling asleep So I hope you help me Accomplish this goal. Well, first of all We're going to start by doing a very short meditation Because in our previous session Christina managed to create a wonderful atmosphere and Magical atmosphere and I don't want to break that feeling with which you left this room So before I start talking about design thinking and creativity and Clio I Need you to be in the right mood. I Need you to be receptive To what design thinking entails, right? So as you probably know by now Mindfulness brings lots of benefits for your bodies and for your minds and one of them is the simple fact that it Encourages it fosters creativity So I'm gonna sort of resume the talk at the point where Christina Stopped her presentation, right? So now that you know that mindfulness means to be present here and now To be not just to leave or to exist Just to be in the present moment Now you are ready to start making sense of what design thinking is So I'm gonna stop at this point. We're going to listen to Christina It's gonna be a very short meditation, but I want you to be present. Actually. I need you to be present To get the point of to get the point of design thinking, right? Welcome back. I will start the meditation. So I'm going to ask you kindly to put your feet on the wooden floor and To sit on the verge of your chairs If you want if not Gently closing your eyes Leaving behind all those sensations of heat All those sensations of being surrounded by noise All those sensations by being Surrounded by people having lunch. We are no longer having lunch We are already here and we are feeling our feet Reconnecting with the earth We are reconnecting with our heart Beating are you still breathing? Do you feel you're breathing? Is your mind going away? That's okay No problem If you realize that your mind is going away You kindly Take it back to your breath and your breath He's still here with you It is coming in It is coming out And you are here being yourself Reconnecting Reengaging inhale exhale Feel your body Breathing in feel your body Breathing out Are you mindful? Now Is your body here? Is your mind here? Are your emotions here? Welcome to the present moment A present moment which discloses Before your eyes And offers new opportunities For what is happening And gives you the opportunity One more time to be here To take in the present Whatever it has to offer Reconnecting Rooting Rooting within yourselves As we come to the end Of this short meditation Take a deep breath And let's take this deep breath together In the hope That what is about to come Will re-engage Within yourselves Inhale Exhale Welcome to the present moment Thank you very much Christina for another wonderful guided meditation So now you are mindful you're ready to learn a little bit about design thinking Does everybody know what design thinking is? Are you familiar with this new concept? Does anybody know? Okay, does anybody know what design thinking is? Have you heard about this before? Those of you who have heard about this concept can you please raise your hands? So nobody Okay, so it's a huge challenge for me to try and introduce a new concept for you It's an emerging concept even though it it was born at some point in the early 1970s at the University of Stanford, California It was only in 2008 That a man by the name team brown Started to start talking about design thinking Well, I have divided my presentation into three four different blocks The first part is I'm afraid A bit theoretical so I'm going to be sitting down so that you can hear my voice well In the first part, I'm going to introduce the basics of design thinking I will tell you about the five different stages or phases that make up design thinking In the second part, I'd like you to think about the pedagogical potential The design thinking can bring into your own classroom practice The third part is going to be more about the connections between design thinking and clear There isn't much research about this yet. I mean if you google clear design thinking All you will find out is going to be A link to this course to this summer course. So for those of you are interested in research This is an emerging field of research And the fourth part is going to be Largely practical. I want the approach to be experiential So I'm going to give you the basics of theoretical underpinnings, but I want you to experience Design thinking firsthand Right and at the end I will try to wrap up my presentation with some conclusions So I hope you don't find this too boring Right, this is not mindfulness, but it's closely connected to mindfulness and how as you will see Okay, so let's go back to the beginning and let's get serious Just have a look at these two comic strips Both strips represent what I call a teacher's dream Which is pupils autonomy and happiness I think you will agree with me on the simple fact that We as teachers want our students to be autonomous Independent and happy Do you agree with me? So look at the first strip the first comic strip. What do you mean? I'm not independent enough Show me how to be independent. I can be independent without your help That's meant to be ironical. You I can't see you laughing, but this is really ironical So you can see what's the best way to teach your students to start being independent You have to give them freedom You have to give them opportunities To know what it means to make mistakes To find the wrong way around to navigate learning on their own And this is closely connected to more design thinking means as we'll see in a few minutes Look at the second strip All I want is for you to be happy. Oh, that is so sweet. You're much less of a pain in the ass when you're happy Well, this ties up very well with uh, Jose Luis talk this morning about mixed ability and attention to diversity I'm sure that you as teachers want all your students to be engaged In the learning experiences and the activities and tasks and projects and everything that you designed for your wonderful Lessons you want that to be engaged. You want your students to take part and to feel that they feed in That's why it's so important to create An emotionally safe and support atmosphere in class And you can get this by means of memorable learning experiences And if I design thinking in my opinion can gives us tools and resources to give our students memorable experiences Now I'm going to be repeating this concert over and over again through our my presentation A memorable learning experience is one That lives and imprimed on your students minds and hearts An experience that they are going to remember for the rest of their lives And what is even more important a memorable learning experience Is one that brings about deep learning And deep learning means that your students are really acquiring content In a clear setting and that they are learning the language that they need to talk about and write about disciplinary content I'm taking for granted that you all know what clale is Are you familiar with the forces framework? You know that are you familiar with hops and lots and blown's taxonomy? Well to me the most important singularity of clale lies precisely in this That you as content teachers have got a tremendous challenge in your hands Which is teaching the content of curricular subjects By means of a language which is not your mother tongue Which is not your students mother tongue So you have to bear in mind that you have to make sure somehow that you are teaching the content But also the language that your students need to access that content So disciplinary knowledge And disciplinary discourse the language that your students need to articulate their understanding Right Are you with me? That's a challenge very difficult if I were in your position, I wouldn't know where to start really Well, I like this comic strip very much and I'm about to finish my introduction This is what I call creativity or the weight of the human soul This is a strip from the Guardian, which was published a few years ago. Can you read the text? Well It says well, it's the title is the math test Miss and trying to work out how many frogs hatch out if 73% are eaten by birds But I think I have accidentally calculated the weight of the human soul Oh For Pete's sake, let me have a look good heaven. So you have But I'm afraid I can't give you any marks as it isn't the right answer That evening at home I am very disappointed you fail maths again Doesn't calculate in the weight of the human soul count for anything Frankly no And the Karen political and economic climate knowing how much your soul weighs won't help you get a job Now this makes him like exaggeration to you, but this is what happens many times in our classrooms According to Ken Robinson school systems all over the world seem to be killing kids imagination and creativity Do you think schools kill creativity? They do well to a certain extent. Let's not be extremely pessimistic, but to me this comic strip Makes me rethink what I do in my own lessons as a teacher If school is killing creativity, I should do something about the way I teach And it's my responsibility. It is a social imperative We can't expect anyone else to come into our classroom and do the job for ourselves Right So creativity should be one of the goals Of any education systems on earth What the same applies to mindfulness Just you you have probably already Realized you you have probably come to the realization that mindfulness Creates the the necessary predisposition For students to absorb knowledge And to start creating something new Well design thinking as we should see in a few minutes It's more concerned about cultivating Hots than lots Hots are higher order thinking skills Now think about the top of the pyramid create Design thinking is about Given people tools to create something new And this takes me to the next slide We live in the so-called knowledge society I don't have to come all the way from Cordova to tell you this But this has got deep profound implications for what we do in education I personally believe in the power of intelligence Creativity and solidarity In the effort that people can make together to change the world for the better not for the worse because it's Pretty bad as it stands now right now So in in the knowledge age at a time of unprecedented historical changes At a time when you have instantaneous access to lots of data and information On the internet or on any electronical device on the palm of your hand Smartphones for instance The school has to go a step further And teach students skills that they are going to need To solve lots of problems in a world that is getting more and more complicated I don't know whether you have heard about the so-called wicked problems wicked problems are international terrorism climate change poverty disease Lots of problems regarding immigration The refugees crisis those are wicked problems And they can't be sold but just one person but just one nation We need huge doses of collective intelligence and solidarity to cope with these problems And at that point I think design thinking can contribute something relevant Okay, so let's start talking about design thinking more in in in depth What are the origins of the concept? What are the stages the phases of design thinking at what lessons can we can we learn from designers? Well, design thinking is It's not new as I said before And actually I would say that design thinking is as old as humanity Because human beings throughout time throughout history have had to cope with lots of problems The invention of fire The invention of the will those are early examples of design thinking Design thinking put simply is Finding a solution to a problem That you have in front of you That's it. That's the simplest definition. I can give you of design thinking And if that's the simplest definition, I can give you a design thinking That means that design thinking can be used In a wide array of contexts including education Including bilingual education Including clear So whatever there is there's a problem. There's there is room For collective solidarity for collective intelligence There is an opportunity to find a solution to a problem And well, you know that working in a bilingual context is not easy There are lots of problems that you need to tackle that you need to face every day And important thing is to find a solution to those problems Now important thing again is to do it as part of a team and not individually, right? So design thinking comes from Product designers from the world of product designers and by product designers I mean people who design such things as smartphones Or a chair or a light bulb Anything I mean any technological piece of equipment Is the product of human creativity Right, but design thinking has evolved over time So it's not just a matter of having a solitary genius in a laboratory or in a room Finding the perfect solution to a problem It's much more often the case that you have Interdisciplinary groups of people Teams of people who've got expertise in different fields They and they bring together a huge amount of talent and they come up with a solution to a problem So that's the origin of design thinking product designers Stick jobs for example is a product designer a very successful by the way We're going to have a look at the five faces of design thinking very simple. They are empathize Define ideate prototype and test and we're going to look at each of them in detail and The most interesting thing about design thinking is Precisely that It sort of brings about a new mindset that fosters cooperation and creativity in a classroom at school As a space where we have to solve problems lots of problems because cooperation is the stuff of growth
