How to learn? From mistake by Diana Laufenberg (2010)

TED Talks

 

 

How to learn from the mistake that Diana talks about, how she tells about her teaching experience from one place to another. Beginning his journey begins with his grandmother who gets information from the book, from a teacher and grandmother he goes to a place to get information, and that's how his grandmother learned. Memory when he was little who has a set of encyclopaedias in his home. Encyclopaedias are used when they need information quickly so they do not have to wait in the library for information.

When he was in high school and started teaching, Diana used the internet as an educational tool. From Wisconsin moved to Kansas, where he had the opportunity to teach with his favourite lessons, the American Government. The first year he taught, students was not very interested in the American government system, in the second year he changed the strategy by giving them an authentic experience that enabled them to learn on their own. In this way he succeeds in making his students self-sufficient and doing it one step ahead.

From Kansas moved to Arizona and taught in Flagstaff for several years, and he taught with junior high school students. But what is taught is not American Government but about Geography. The strategy used by him with an effective learner is the making of a film performed directly by his or her students, who tells a person in their life, or in their story. And also told them to fill out the sounds of the movies they made.

From Arizona to Pennsylvania, where teaching Science Leadership Academy, a school in collaboration with the Franklin Institute and a school in Philadelphia. This is a public school level 9 to 12 but with different teaching. In Philadephilia has a one-on-one laptop program, so children carry a laptop every day, taken home to gain access to information. Providing information to students with a thought in encouraging children to fail some of the learning process. We are dealing with the world of education with madness to culture.

The project creates the info-graphics they create as a form of visual learning that is intructions, and seeks completion within a period of 2 to 3 days. And it is the work of students who consistently do it.

Regarding student learning, learning can be seen from areas where children's ideas are allowed to go to school to get information. When we see children coming to school just to get information and not about learning from experience, encouraging students' voices and accepting failures, we lose goals. And all the things about the education system with the standard tests, which we only know that how we do this better and it's time we did it.
