NAVIGATING THE UNKNOWN WITH JOURNEY MAPPING During this StudioChat, we will discover how to create and use visual narratives as a tool for problem-solving via Journey Mapping. Journey Mapping creates an environment for problem-solving by removing internal bias, fostering highly detailed recall, building a greater understanding of human behavior, and digging into empathy. In a workshop format, this session offers a brief overview of Journey Mapping—then dives into a quick hands-on experience. The goal is to provide a meaningful exercise that can be easily replicated in your classroom. The resource will be shared with those who register, then later posted on this website. Essential Question: How might we create environments for better problem solving utilizing our 5 senses, documenting them through visual tools, creative notetaking, and organization? Get in touch with your senses and explore the power of Journey Mapping! Keenly take inventory of your 5 senses while using Google Jamboard to document your journey using sketching, photos, and notetaking of your experience learning how to use a new tool. Use the 8 elements of a Journey Map to layout your experience and uncover the most critical steps, points of tension, and how to be a 21st century problem solver!
