NCompass Live: Pretty Sweet Tech - Design Thinking: How Technology is Made - Recorded Online Session 

New special monthly episodes of NCompass Live! Join the NLC’s Technology Innovation Librarian, Amanda Sweet, as she guides us through the world of library-related Pretty Sweet Tech.

In recent years we’ve all been hearing more about "design thinking". Fun fact! It’s not a new process. It’s just problem solving. You probably already use it, but may know it under a different term. The difference is that design thinking puts the user first. That’s right, humans matter in technology design. It’s a novel idea.

This week’s Pretty Sweet Tech aims to de-mystify design thinking and how technology is designed, prototyped and tested. When we know how technology is made, we all have a better chance to choose and use technology more effectively. Here’s a rundown of what this session will cover:

• What is Design Thinking?
• Example as it applies to technology design
• Using Design Thinking to Choose Technology Tools
• Using Design Thinking to Teach Technology Literacy
