how to learn from mistake?



 Diana Laufenberg: How to learn from mistake?

The speaker has been teaching for a long time and has acquired a body of knowledge about kids and learning. so, she always wants to give the best learning method to her students. In doing so, she wish that everyone can see the potential of their student.

She tell a story about her grandmother that went to school to get information because there where the information lived. It was in the book and in teacher’s head. And it also happened to her father. He went to school and get the information which then he can stored only in his memory. That’s how the basic method of learning. So, when she was a kid, she had a lot of encyclopedias in her house. She don’t have to go library because all the information was there.

She see the advantages of internet as a tool for education when she started teaching. She got an opportunity to teach in a small yet lovely school there in Kansas. She teach her favorite subject that is American Government. In the first year, she knew that kids in 12-grade is not really enthusiastic on the subject. Second year, she had to change her tactic. She tried to give new experience to the student to learn by themselves. All thing she did was only post the problem and let the students solve by themselves. Then the outcome is incredibly awesome. The student produced flyers, called offices, and they were  meeting with secretaries and any other great things that she never thought before.  From Kansas she moved to Arizona. In this time, she challenges her student to identify someone in their world who had done the positive thing that give good impact to others. Then she asked the to make short movie of it. Along with her guidance of course. In short the class is also success. Then she move to Pennsylvania. The students there is great. They use technology in learning activity. Then the point that she really want to tell everybody is teaching is not ask your student always have the right answer and to tell kids to never be wrong. Let kids to fail is the part of learning process.

Yes, I didn’t want to be doctor; it was hard to s...

texting is killing language

John McWhorter: texting is killing language Texting is miraculous thing, Seeing back what language is. Language has existed perhaps 150 thousand years ago. At the time people do speak instead of writing.   texting is not writing at all. Writing is something that came along much later. First there’s speech then writing comes along. Base on history, there is natural relation between speech and writing such as when we listen a speech basically talk like writing.

And other something wrong with texting such as using of LOL (laughing out lout), most of people use because it’s a new trend among people today.
