Design Thinking is a mindset. Design Thinking is the confidence that everyone can be part of creating a more desirable future, and a process to take action when faced with a difficult challenge. That kind of optimism is well needed in education.

Interesting concept .... I like that you can "moderate" other peoples changes (i.e., choose to accept or reject them). It would be interesting to see how the "ask an expert" for editing advise works too.

I used to use comics and especially the old classic literature ones many years ago when I first started teaching. The kids learned more than in using reading books.
