pWe’re thrilled to announce that an amazing resource for design eduction just went live: a href=”http://edutoolkit.designersaccord.org/”Integrating sustainability into design education: The Toolkit/a. /p
pYou’ll recall that last October, over 100 design educators and enthusiasts from around the world convened in San Francisco for a href=”http://www.designersaccord.org/initiatives/”The Designers Accord Global Summit on Sustainability Education/a, two days of discussion, workshops, presentations, and planning around the topic of design education and sustainability. It was a very rich and intense experience, and now there’s a new companion site, designed by Scott Stowell with support from the Adobe Foundation and Autodesk./p
pAt a href=”http://www.edutoolkit.designersaccord.org”edutoolkit.designersaccord.org/a, you’ll find published explorations around the big questions we addressed, mindsets needed to assimilate new perspectives, and examples of classroom discussion topics, exercises, and term projects./p

pThe site is “more than a record of the Summit discussion,” notes Valerie Casey, founder of the a href=”http://www.designersaccord.org”Designers Accord/a. “It’s a strong statement about the future of design education. We hope the site will be a living library. Site users can add examples of their own discussions, exercises, and projects, as well as adding feedback, comments, and illustrations to enrich or improve other posted examples.”/p
pPlease check out the site, add your own examples and comments, and share with your education posse, students, administrators, and colleagues./pa href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/education/new_from_the_designers_accord_education_toolkit_17222.asp”(more…)/a
