  • Co-Occurrence #10 – Look Both Ways: Curbing Runaway Design and Healing Education’s Tomorrow (EP.33)
    Jun 1 2024
    Co-Occurrence #10 - Look Both Ways: Curbing Runaway Design and Healing Education's Tomorrow (EP.33) With Carissa Carter, M.S. and Scott Doorley, M.A. As educators we create, are subjected to, and engage with other people's creations and intentions. We often assume that our values and intentions are going to automatically manifest in the way that we work with these creations and when we use other people's creations. We assume that the outcomes of those creations are going to align with our intentions. But the things we design take on a life of their own, and if we aren't thoughtful that can produce outcomes with effects we never intended. But. what if we took time to understand the past and the future of design? What if we used intentionality to design to heal? In our lives, in our curriculum, and in our technology? Stanford professors and authors of Assembling Tomorrow: A Guide to Designing a Thriving Future, Carissa Carter and Scott Doorley, join Stacy Craft to explore these questions and beyond. This episode is the tenth installment of our limited series, "Co-Occurrence," featuring conversations exploring AI and related technologies as well as possible, probably and actual impacts on education.
