The Mysterious Mind

• What is
• 1 5?
• 2 4?
• 3 3?
• 4 2?
• 5 1?
• Now repeat 6 silently for 15 seconds.

3
The Mysterious Mind

• Quick! Think of a vegetable!
• You thought of a carrot? Right?
• If so, you responded the same as 98 of the
  population!
• If not, youre among the 2 who think
  differently!

4
The Mysterious Mind

• Never trust a dog to watch your food.
• Patrick, age 10
• When your dad is mad and asks you, "Do I look
  stupid?" don't answer him.
• Michael, 14

5
The Mysterious Mind

• You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of
  milk.
• Armir, 9
• Puppies still have bad breath even after eating
  a tic tac.
• Andrew, 9

6
The Mysterious Mind

• Never try to baptize a cat.
• Eileen, 8
• Never hold a dust buster and a cat at the same
  time.
• Kyoyo, 9

7

• We now understand that learning is highly
  experiential.
• To support learning, technology has to be an
  extension of human experience

8

• Do all minds think alike?
• Do great minds think alike?
• And should they?

Dear Walter, I am very glad I found your web
page. We all would like to think we are smart.
Could you help me with three problems I have?
One, I think ALL the time but noise like T.V. and
radio distract me. Two, I can look at anything
and see it in three dimensions. And three, I
always am looking on things that relate in forms
and genealogies. I want to believe I have some
smarts. I am a dreamer, a visionary, a futurist,
yet cannot use those talents to their fullest
ability. I am fifty-six years old and retired. Do
you think I am different than the "normal" crowd
and why. You answer is very important to me. Even
if your answer is negative it cannot hurt my
feelings..... -Paul
10
Students like Paul never fit the
one-size-fits-all ideal of the industrial age.
Their orientation to the world required teaching
and learning tools that were not available.
11
Because if the only tool you have is a hammer
everything around you looks like a nail.

• If the human mind has an operating system,
  Gardners model is the manual that attempts to
  explain how it runs.

Survey Says!
16
Thinking Differently

• Verbal
• Is there another word for synonym?
• Logical
• Show me a man with both feet firmly on the
  ground, and I'll show you a man who can't get his
  pants off.

17
Thinking Differently

• Visual
• It's not an optical illusion. It just looks like
  one.
• Musical
• I wrote a song, but I can't read music so I don't
  know what it is. Every once in a while I listen
  to the radio and I say, "I think I might have
  written that."

18
Thinking Differently

• Kinesthetic
• What would a chair look like if your knees bent
  the other way?
• Naturalist
• How much deeper would the ocean be if sponges
  didn't live there?

19
Thinking Differently

• Intrapersonal
• They told me I was gullible.... and I believed
  them.
• Interpersonal
• One nice thing about egotists... they don't talk
  about other people.

20
Thinking Differently

• Existential
• Isn't Disney World a people trap operated by a
  mouse?

21
Thinking Differently

• The Power Of Design
• Business Week
• May 17, 2004
• IDEO redefined good design by creating
  experiences, not just products. Now it's changing
  the way companies innovate

22
Thinking Differently

• Kaiser nurses, doctors, and facilities managers
  teamed up with IDEO's social scientists,
  designers, architects, and engineers and observed
  patients as they made their way through their
  medical facilities. At times, they played the
  role of patient themselves.

23
Thinking Differently

• Together they came up with some surprising
  insights. IDEO's architects revealed that
  patients and family often became annoyed well
  before seeing a doctor because checking in was a
  nightmare and waiting rooms were uncomfortable.
  They also showed that Kaiser's doctors and
  medical assistants sat too far apart.

24
Thinking Differently

• People, especially the young, the old, and
  immigrants, visit doctors with a parent or
  friend, but that second person is often not
  allowed to stay with the patient, leaving the
  afflicted alienated and anxious. Patients also
  hate examination rooms because they often wait
  alone for up to 20 minutes half-naked, with
  nothing to do.

25
Thinking Differently

• Kaiser realized its long-range growth plan didn't
  require building expensive new facilities. It
  realized that seeking medical care is is a social
  experience. So it needed to offer comfortable
  waiting rooms and a lobby with clear instructions
  on where to go larger exam rooms with space for
  three or more people and curtains for privacy.

26
Thinking Differently

• How does IDEO do it? Techniques such as
• bodystorming
• behavioral mapping
• quick and dirty prototyping
• deep dives
• unfocus groups
• shadowing
• be your customer

27
Thinking Differently

• IDEO sent ATT Wireless managers in San Francisco
  to find a CD by a certain Latin singer, a
  Walgreen's that sold its own brand of ibuprofen,
  and a Pottery Barn catalog. It was too difficult
  to do with their mMode service they used
  newspapers and phone books instead.

28
Thinking Differently

• "Even teenagers didn't get it," says Duane Bray,
  of IDEO. As a result ATT Wireless came up with a
  new mMode platform organized like a Web browser's
  favorites. A consumer can make up an
  individualized selection of sites, such as ESPN
  or Sony Pictures and ring tones. Nothing is more
  than two clicks away.

29
Thinking Differently

• An mMode Guide on the page allows people to list
  five places - a restaurant, coffee shop, bank,
  bar, and retail store - that GPS location finders
  can identify in various cities around the U.S.
  Another feature spotlights the five nearest movie
  theaters that still have seats available within
  the next hour.

30
Thinking Differently

• Stanford University has just committed to raising
  35 million so that IDEO can create a "D-school,"
  a new design school that may one day match
  Stanford's famed B-school. Stanford professors in
  business, engineering, social sciences, and art
  will teach there.

31
Thinking Differently

• What assumptions have we made about schools and
  technology?
• What could we discover about our end-users and
  their experience?

School Tech
32
Thinking Differently

• Do we make technology a natural extension of how
  children learn?
• Do we make technology a seamless extension of how
  and what we teach?

School Tech
33
Thinking Differently

• Do we get in the way of students technology?
• What happens if we let go and allow technology to
  empower students?

School Tech
34
But..

• ..is technology just another tool for
  instruction?

35
Other Popular Tools

• Textbook
• Chalkboard
• Overhead projector
• Tape recorder/player
• TV/VCR

36
How is Technology Different?

• Addresses all facets of human cognition
• Accommodates multiple forms of communication
• Breaks down boundaries of time and space
• Can transform the classroom

37
Thinking Technologically
Its time to rethink technology in terms of how
we connect with our end users.

and becomes a path to authentic learning.
