Couros asks this question: how do we foster that same wonder and curiosity in our students? That is exactly what George Couros and David Jakes discuss in this episode of The Innovator’s Mindset Podcast! The two discuss Jakes’ new book, The Design Thinking Classroom. Couros and Jakes have a powerful conversation about how education is adapting and the practical strategies that educators can use to bring design thinking to their own classrooms.
