On this episode of The Tattooed Teacher Podcast, I speak Leighann Nes Wilson, a design educator and PhD candidate, discussing her journey in design education, the importance of creativity in teaching, and the impact of design thinking on students. Leighann shares her experiences in integrating design thinking into the curriculum, the significance of play in learning, and the future of design education in the context of emerging technologies like AI. In this conversation, we discuss the significance of foundational skills in design education, the challenges faced by pre-service teachers, and the integration of design thinking into various subjects. We also discuss the importance of creativity, enthusiasm, and authenticity in teaching, while addressing the need for a shift in educational paradigms to better incorporate design principles. The discussion highlights the potential of design thinking to enhance problem-solving skills and foster a more engaging learning environment.
