Why Critical Design Literacy is Needed Now More Than Ever | DMLcentral | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

So what is critical design literacy and why is it needed? This article states "Critical design literacy applies the protocols of design thinking to practice social innovations that lead to social transformation. In the learning environments that we will pilot we want students to become literate in critical thinking and critical designing.

Points on how to practice digital literacy, a look at how to redesign K-12 environments and designing for equity are also discussed.
