Debates about Design Thinking

I.O.U. - Currently this page is only links, but eventually it will be developed more thoroughly, with descriptions of article-content and more links.  It was inspired by an online discussion/debate about design thinking, re: how to define it and how useful it is for problem solving (in all areas of life) and (in schools or business) for problem-solving education.  The links below include a blog-article explaining “why we SHOULD use design thinking in education” in response to others who say “we SHOULD NOT.”
