The ToddCast - Creating an Environment Where It's OK to Fail

It's OK to Fail - Some of life's biggest lessons comes from the mistakes we make. We do something, it does not work, and we learn what to do differently the next time. In classrooms though we do not always provide the space for students to make mistakes because when they do, they are punished either with a bad grade, told it is the WRONG answer, or made to feel as though they should be embarrassed by other students. FAIL should be First Attempt In Learning. We should be creating a classroom environment where students are encouraged to go for it and if they make mistakes, so be it. Use them as learning tools.
