TOUCHSTONE BUILDS COMMUNITY
AND FOSTERS DISCOVERY

Powered by Thrivecast and developed in partnership with Arizona State University’s Center for Games and Impact, TouchStone is the ideal solution for blended and remote learning environments.

TouchStone provides schools and organizations with a digital platform that captures various aspects of the One Stone experience, known as collections. Collections are made up of stories and modules, and each module contains several grow activities. Students navigate TouchStone at their own pace; picking their own path. Although there are some modules that benefit from foundational experience gained from other modules, users are free to explore and complete modules and collections as they choose. Alternatively, users may follow specified paths to receive certifications in various 21st century skills. One or more of these collections may be purchased from One Stone based on the organization’s needs and interests. In addition to the online content provided, TouchStone partners also receive coaching, training, and support from One Stone.

TouchStone features the following content collections:

Living in Beta empowers high school students to explore their passions and discover their purpose, while developing the tools to live, learn, and practice with intention. Through engagement in scaffolded wayfinding activities, students design experiences that bring relevance to their learning. As students unpack their passions, identify their personal values, and create a personalized and meaningful why statement, they develop a greater sense of identity, belonging, and purpose.

Human-Centered-Design-icon.png

Human-Centered Design includes over two dozen modules that will guide users through the design thinking process. This collection contains design thinking specific modules, as well as supplemental materials from the BLOB library. Users will gain proficiency in all steps of the design thinking process — from understanding, to implementation, to reflection — with coaching from industry professionals, leaders from the Stanford d.school and IDEO, and experts from One Stone.

Civics and Social Responsibility is a collection that allows students to become leaders, advocates, and positive members of society. Modules develop information literacy and a foundational understanding of social justice, human rights, as well as why it is our civic responsibility to vote.

The One Stone Bold Learning Objectives (a.k.a. The “BLOB”) is a comprehensive library of collections that focus on four key areas of learning: mindset, creativity, skills, and knowledge. Each area includes cognitive and non-cognitive competencies and dispositions and is supported by research-based learning objectives and criteria for mastery. Through their work in relevant, real-world experiences, students develop the social and emotional skills necessary for a growth mindset; they learn how to approach challenges and solve complex problems creatively; and they gain professional skills required of leaders who pursue their passions with confidence and purpose.
