How To Learn ? From Mistake By Diana Laufenberg (2010) [TED Summary]

Diana Laufenberg discusses her presentation entitled "How to Learn? From Mistakes." Diana Laufenberg is a teacher who shares some of the things she learned about how most teachers teach and how most children learn. She told of her grandmother in the 1930s, when Diana's grandmother was in class, Diana said that the purpose of going to class was getting information. Students get all their information from the teacher and keep everything in their brain. When Diana was at school, information became more accessible in the form of encyclopedias and textbooks. Diana started teaching in Kansas. After her first year of teaching, she decided that she needed to change her approach to teaching. After Diana Laufenberg used traditional pedagogical methods during her first year of teaching, she realized that learning has changed deeply.

Diana asked the question, "Are we really comfortable letting the kids fail?" For Laufenberg, failure is part of teaching and learning. For Diana as a teacher we must tell the children about the learning process. Children need to know that it's okay to make mistakes and in doing so they will not limit what they can learn.


As teachers, we have to talk to the children about this process so they can let their ideas run without worry of not being successful. Designing learning to empower students is not about right and wrong answers, but the reverse is to extend the scope of their ability to think.

Txting Is Killing Language. JK!!! by Jhon McWhorter (2013) [TED Summary]

Many people believe that a new way of communicating, texting, destroys the elegance and beauty of writing and language. However, John McWhorter presents the opposite idea in the Ted Talk video, "Txting is Killing Language. JK !!". He said it, " texting is miraculous!”. McWhorter believes that texting is not bad, as many claim. He talks about the topic of how when children first learn to write all their words crammed into the fact that, they write the way we speak. He refers to texting as, "fingered speech", because we type loosely and how we speak.             He does not see texting as a form of writing. Instead, he states that it's actually a way of writing how you speak. Jhon says If we look back on history, most of the communication has spoken. Writing is a relatively new invention. So to say that writing in the way we speak is harmful to communications is ridiculous, because talking is the ultimate form of communication. Of course there are times
