a sumary of ted talk- how to learn? from mistake by diana laufenberg

This ted talk is entitling with how to learn? From mistake

From the title above, we can imagine that what talk that she gives us, it is about learning, the speaker was born in a family who highly love education and learning. Told by her that, when her grand mother went to a school for geting information and continued by her father, h also went to a school just for getting an information and save the knowledge in brain. That’s how the information is transmitted from one to another. And when she was young, there is an encyclopedia in their home that make feel happier and better that other children, it because she can get lots of knowledge and how to interact with others well.

In her teenagehood, her family move from Wisconsin to Kansas, she begin to teach at school which governed ny american system and quite bored. In the second year, she started to think that, the system must be changed, students have to acquire knowledge by themselves.

Again, from kansas, she moved to Arizona, there she challenged the students to create their own story, like a video of their life and said it is their very first experience, no one knows how to create it but really interested in it. The students energically create it and dubb the sound by their own sound which become an amazing video.

Then, she moved to pensylvania, where she remained stay, there, she also teach students and changed an old paradigma that, school for getting information. Based on her grand mother and father’s experiences, she would like to make students become creative and able to get the information bythemselves. They can get it everywhere not only in the school,they can learn everything from every where.

The main point is that, if we continue to look at education as if it's about coming to school to get the information and not about experiential learning, empowering student voice and embracing failure,we're missing the mark. And everything that everybody is talking about today isn't possible if we keep having an educational system that does not value these qualities, because we won't get there with a standardized test, and we won't get there with a culture of one right answer. We know how to do this better, and it's time to do better.
