This discussion serves as a source of inspiration as you prepare for the assignment this week involving the creation of<br />

an inquiry-based lesson! The speaker in this 10 minute TedTalk you will view emphasizes the power of listening <strong>to</strong> and<br />

considering students perspectives, allowing them <strong>to</strong> take risks and be comfortable making mistakes, and how<br />

experiential learning promotes thinking, problem-solving, and genuine student interest. You will consider yourself lucky<br />

<strong>to</strong> learn of the ... most awesome moment of revelation as shared by this dynamic teacher.<br />

Initial Post<br />

View Diana Laufenberg?s TedTalk: <strong>How</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Learn</strong>? From <strong>Mistakes</strong> and read the transcript.<br />

Part I<br />

Reflect upon each quote below. <strong>How</strong> were your eyes opened, either for the first time or maybe reopened?<br />

The things that kids will say when you ask them and take the time <strong>to</strong> listen is extraordinary (Laufenberg, 2010). . . .<br />

And here's the thing that you need <strong>to</strong> get comfortable with when you've given the <strong>to</strong>ol <strong>to</strong> acquire information <strong>to</strong> students,<br />

is that you have <strong>to</strong> be comfortable with this idea of allowing kids <strong>to</strong> fail as part of the learning process. We deal right now<br />

in the educational landscape with an infatuation with the culture of one right answer that can be properly bubbled on the<br />

average multiple choice test, and I am here <strong>to</strong> share with you: it is not learning. That is the absolute wrong thing <strong>to</strong> ask,<br />

<strong>to</strong> tell kids <strong>to</strong> never be wrong. To ask them <strong>to</strong> always have the right answer doesn't allow them <strong>to</strong> learn (Laufenberg,<br />

2010).<br />

Part II<br />

Next, share one other remark, quote, or point of discussion <strong>from</strong> Mr. Laufenberg that impacted your thinking as a<br />

teacher and learner. What connections can be made <strong>from</strong> Ms. Laufenberg?s talk with what is expressed in chapter 5:<br />

Capacity Building for All Educa<strong>to</strong>rs (Ash & DAuria, 2013) involving the quality of teaching? Explain its impact and how<br />

you might apply it <strong>to</strong> your assignment for this week.<br />

Guided Response:Post replies <strong>to</strong> at least two peers. In your replies, consider asking questions of peers about their<br />

responses <strong>to</strong> encourage further conversation. Consider their impressions of each quote. <strong>How</strong> did their perceptions differ<br />

or agree with your own? Share how their perception may have altered or added <strong>to</strong> your own. Remark upon their added<br />

remark, quote, or point of discussion <strong>from</strong> the TED Talk. Provide specific feedback regarding their ideas for<br />

implementing it in this week?s assignment.<br />

Though two replies is the basic expectation, for deeper engagement and learning, you are encouraged <strong>to</strong> provide<br />

responses <strong>to</strong> any comments or questions others have given <strong>to</strong> you (including the instruc<strong>to</strong>r) before the last day of the<br />

discussion; this will further the conversation while also giving you opportunities <strong>to</strong> demonstrate your content expertise,<br />

critical thinking, and real world experiences with this <strong>to</strong>pic.<br />
