Learning is not a light bulb. The light bulb is very simple. They lighted the darkness. As a technological innovation, light bulbs are changing the world, but what they do by experience is not complicated. In contrast, learning is a complex human activity that is influenced both outside and inside the university. Then compare Edison and Dewey and talk about the way you learned. In the case of Edison, learning involves adults bringing knowledge to children in an "attractive and fun way". For Dewey it is important for them to learn to include questions from children. For Edison, the problem with textbooks is that they are tedious and can not capture the "more accurate, more vivid" reality of life. Dewey would say that the textbook impeded "active cooperation in the construction of students" in her research. As Dewe wrote in his slim experience and education later,
Many people think that Thomas Edison is not the inventor of a light bulb. Others created an initial bulb, but Edison completed a durable incandescent bulb. He tried various wires before finding the bamboo wire he had carbonised. Why is he so successful? Because he showed the secret power of the inventor. The inventor's secret is experimentation. I recently exchanged email with Brian Gardner. He is the chief product officer of Copyblogger Media, a competent designer and author. I like a simple approach to his website design. In particular, I asked if it is a bad idea to put the e-mail registration form at the bottom of the site's website. Normally bloggers place their email registration near the top of the page to get the maximum exposure. However, some people think that if you like your content, you just register. At Brian's reply, he suggested that I just try the bottom of the page. In other words, experiment
Interesting fact ... Someone has to find the United States. Someone has to invent a car. Someone had to try 1000 times to make a light bulb. I once thought that Edison had to make a light bulb, and the bulb did not light his workstation ... it must have been sucked, but he did it. He grabbed that opportunity, spent thousands of hours, and ultimately helped millions of people to live a more happy and healthy life. why? why? Let's start the business now, so I will not regret not having tried to start in 30 years from now. Can you fail? Yes. Can I fail miserably? Yes. Can I succeed and try another "opportunity" on the list? Yes, even if you win or lose, life experience and stories are worth the effort and time.
