Another impressive talk by Sugata Mitra, which was made three years prior to the speech we introduced here last week. While the 2010 talk may seem more stimulating, we can also gain a lot of insight from this talk regarding how to make use of PCs to foster children’s self-learning. A series of his ‘Hole in the Wall’ experiments addressed in this talk clearly shows the amazing capacity of children to learn things quickly, playfully and cooperatively.

Educational technologist Sugata Mitra explores a whole new style of education that is quite different from conventional classroom-style study. Some of his keywords are: the use of web-connected PCs, leaving children alone, and the support of granny guides. So unique, isn’t it? From his talk you’ll recognize that learning is intriguingly fun by nature.
