Integration through Design: DESIGN-ED Conference in Philadelphia

User adjustable eyeglasses for the Other 90%.

I'm at the DESIGN-ED conference in Philadelphia, trying to learn from some great minds in design. Lots of talk of design thinking and sharing of many approaches to teaching design. DESIGN-ED is a collaboration of PreK-12 teachers, school administrators, universities, designers, organizations, businesses, museums, institutions, individuals, and others supporting design education initiatives in PreK-12 schools. This is the second conference of the group and next year they will offer an international conference at about the same time in Chicago.
