Tri-Association of American Schools, Guadalajara, Mexico

Project Goal:   Serve as a featured speaker for the 35th Annual Tri-Association Educator Conference in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Description:  My conference lineup included a full-day learning spaces "bootcamp" and workshops on design thinking and creating, remixing and mashing-up media.  I also spent time at a local school doing a walk-through to support their master planning process.

What's Interesting?  Easy.  The growing interest in spaces and in design.  I had enthusiastic and interesting participants in all my workshops but their is a growing awareness that the current spaces of school cannot support new directions in learning.  There is also interest in understanding how design can shape how organizations act and engage in meaningful change.
