Diana Laufenberg shares how education has changed from her grandmother’s time to her own, and how it has become more accessible with technology.

She talks about her experience teaching American government and using the internet as a tool for authentic learning.

In this TED talk published in 2010, she also discuss about challenging her middle school students to identify someone in their own life who had made a positive impact and to put their own voice over it.
