DIANA LAUFENBERG : HOW TO LEARN FROM MISTAKES


Ms. Diana is a teacher that has been teaching for a long time. She explained that, the way people get information about education was different from year and year. Her grandmother and father had to travel to school due to that is where the information lived. In contrast, when she was a kid, she has lots of encyclopedia books in her house and the information not only exist in school but also in library and else.

In the time that passes, the Internet gets going as an educational tool. In Philadelphia, students have a one-to-one laptop program, the students are bringing in laptops with them everyday, taking them home, and getting access to information. So she used the tool to do a project and the project is one of artifacts. She asked the students to produce an info-graphics at the end of the year and try to find the example of info-graphics in lot of mass media. She admitted that the learners were a little uncomfortable with it because they would never done it before. What they learnt is only getting the information but never create or produce something.

By doing this project, it allowed students to fail and learn from the process. Also, it become their best teacher in doing something better. Hence, learning has to include an amount of failure because failure is instructional in the process of learning.
