Treating Failure Like a Scientist | UKEdChat.com - Supporting the #UKEdChat Education C... - 0 views

  • Labelling ourselves as failures at particular aspect in our life can be self-disparaging, stopping us from reaching more successful goals in life.
  • Scientists view failures within experiments as just another data point, learning from one experiment; changing an element; then try again until a conclusion has been established.
  • “failure feels like an indication of who we are as a person.

  • But for the scientist, a negative result is not an indication that they are a bad scientist. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Proving a hypothesis wrong is often just as useful as proving it right because you learned something along the way.”

Focus on Audience for Better PBL Results | Edutopia - 0 views

  • The Innovations class is deliberately open-ended, which means students have to propose their own project ideas and the standards they plan to meet.
  • "The mentor can't be their dad or their dad's buddy," Wettrick says. "It has to be an expert in an arena, and it has to be somebody who makes a commitment to help them."
  • Students benefit from honest critique along with positive attention for their projects, Wettrick says. "They don't need to hear, 'Good job!' They're better off when an expert tells them, 'That's not bad, but have you considered this, or you might want to look at that.'

  • Wettrick encourages teachers to make their good ideas public so that others in education can learn from their examples. "It's not bragging," he says. "It's sharing best practices."
  • The Buck Institute for Education has produced a feedback form (6) to help audience members think through their role.
  • What do you want students to gain from the audience interaction?
  • Who's the audience for the "real-world" version?
  • How can technology connect students with larger audiences?
