From the Ted Talk by Diana Laufenberg: How to learn? From mistakes

Unscramble the Blue Letters

There are a million pruitces that I could click through here, and had to choose carefully — this is one of my favorites — of students learning, of what learning can look like in a lpadcasne where we let go of the idea that kids have to come to school to get the information, but instead, ask them what they can do with it. Ask them really interesting qutiosens. They will not disappoint. Ask them to go to places, to see things for themselves, to actually experience the lrennaig, to play, to inquire. This is one of my favorite photos, because this was taken on Tuesday, when I akesd the students to go to the polls. This is Robbie, and this was his first day of voting, and he wanted to share that with everybody and do that. But this is learning too, because we asked them to go out into real spaces.
