Design is a practice (the activity) and a product (the design). The challenge facing educators is the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) requirement to transform the sit in your chair learning environment into working spaces that use technology to support the instructional practices and products of design. Success will be strongly tied to the teachers own self-confidence and self-efficacy in aligning design to their classrooms. Teachers must align content ranging from biology to mathematics to physics. This collaborative project with the University of Maryland College Park and Morgan State University will immerse teachers from three demographically diverse Maryland school districts in the design process through the use of MyDesign, a mobile application developed through an NSF I-Corps Learning award, which utilizes a growing library of web-based applications to teach and practice design. The teachers will be guided to develop instructional content specific to their classrooms. Developing and testing two PD models across these school districts has the potential to impact the teaching and practice of design. The data and experiences derived from this exploratory and high-risk research could provide timely insights into the comparative strengths and weaknesses between face-to-face and on-line PD for design. Teaching design online utilizing MyDesign has the potential to expand the instruction of design using Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCS) and to personalize the learning of design. The online teaching and practice of design has the potential to engage more women, underserved minorities, those requiring special accommodation, and returning military by providing an anytime, anyplace tool-box to solve relevant problems.

设计是一种实践（活动）和产品（设计）。教育工作者面临的挑战是下一代科学标准（NGSS）要求将椅子学习环境中的SIT转变为使用技术来支持教学实践和设计产品的工作空间。成功将与教师与教室保持一致的自信心和自我效能密切相关。教师必须将内容调整为从生物学到数学到物理学的内容。与马里兰州大学公园和摩根州立大学的合作项目将通过使用MyDesign的使用MyDesign，这是通过NSF I-Corps学习奖开发的移动应用程序，将三个人口统计学多样化的学区从三个人口统计学上多样化的学区中浸入设计过程，该奖项利用越来越多的基于Web的应用程序来教授和实践设计。教师将被指导开发特定于教室的教学内容。在这些学区开发和测试两个PD模型有可能影响设计的教学和实践。从这项探索性和高风险研究中得出的数据和经验可以及时了解面对面和在线PD之间的比较优势和缺点。使用MyDesign的在线教学设计有可能使用大规模开放的在线课程（MOOC）扩展设计指导，并使设计学习的个性化。在线教学和设计实践有可能吸引更多的妇女，服务不足的少数民族，需要特殊住宿的少数族裔，并通过提供任何位置工具箱来解决相关问题，从而使他们互助。
