The world peace game seems like a very good way to teach kids. John hunter seems to be one step head of the rest of the educating world. He has incorporated right brained teaching methods into his class room since the late 70's. Utilizing our own modified world peace games, education could flow much smoother and transition into the new conceptual age that Dan Pink is predicting to come. I like the concept a lot, it reminds me of an activity I did in my US history teacher Mrs. Vhon Vhil's class last year with the civil war. During the activity, we had fake battles and even did drills and other military activities from the time. I learned a lot about the civil war, and even more about the south, in which I was a member. I think if all classes were like this then school would be a place kids wouldn't want to end, not a place where some feel trapped and can't wait for the ding that releases them. In my current US history class with Mrs. Cornils, we do many fun activities that seem pointless but actually relate to what we are learning about. I recommend that any teacher watch this video because it is a very interesting video on how kids learn.

Kathryn Schulz has a complete grasp on being wrong. I believe in what she said. Her view on being wrong is very good. I laughed when she revealed that she thought the camping sign was an Asian symbol. I can see how one could mistake that for a Chinese letter. She made me wonder how being wrong felt. I don't like being wrong, it doesn't feel good. It makes me feel dumb. her analogy to being wrong to the roadrunner cartoons was completely right. It made sense because you only feel wrong after it is pointed out to you. Until then you feel completely right, then you fall to Earth. I only didn't understand how we hate being wrong. We learn from our mistakes. Without mistakes we are machines, they are what makes us human. I recommend this video to everybody, even if they probably have already seen it.
