How to learn from mistakes by : Diana Launfenberg



Diana is a long time teacher. She begins speak by talking about her grandmother. Her grandma go to school to get information because there is where the information lived. It was in the book and in the teacher’s head. So she needed to go there to get the information. Diana’s father also go to school to get information from teacher. That’s how people learned. Information was being transfered from teacher to students and used in the world. However, when Diana was a kid, she has a lot of encyclopedias in her house, so she didn’t have to go to library to get information. 
When Diana started teaching, she went to Kansas where internet was as an educational tool, but she used authentic experience that allowed her students to learn from themselves. She didn’t tell them any ways to do it. Then her students produced something. From Kansas she moved to Arizona to teach middle school students. She interest about eclectic group of kids to work with in a truly public school. 
The problem then becomes with students is responsible and respectful. So they look at Paul Rusesabagina as an exampke of a gentleman who singularly used his life to do something positive. The Diana asked students to produce a little movie which include of identifying someone in their life by using computer, then put their own voice over it.
Then Diana moved to Pennsylvania. There she asked students to bring laptop with them everyday, so they can access any information. And here is the things that we need to get comfortable with when you’ve given the tool to acquire information to students. 
Diana conclude that go to school is to get the information, not experiental learning, empowering students voice and embracing failure.

Txting is killing language. JK!!!

John argues that texting is a miraculous thing, texting is not writing at all. Basically, if people think about langauge, it has existed for may be 150.000 years, at least 80.000 years, it arose as is speech. Writing is something that came along much later.  According to traditional estimates, if humanity had existed for 24 hours, then writing only came along at about 11.07 p.m. Speech came first before writing. Writing has certain advantages, it’s a conscious process. When people write, they can look backward and can do things with language that are much less likely if they’re just talking. Speech is much looser.  Texting is very loose in its structure. Capital letters or punctuation is not paid attention by people. But it structure is not important when people speak.
