The Child-driven Education

Sugata Mitra: The child-driven education | Video on TED.com via kwout

Take some minutes to watch this INSPIRING VIDEO.

Quotations from the video to think about:

• "Children will learn to do what they want to learn to do."
• "A teacher who can be replaced by a machine, should be."
• "If children have interest then education happens."
• "There was photographic recall inside the children and I suspect it's because they were discussing with each other."
• "Education is a self-organizing system, where learning is an emergent phenomenom."

(a self-organizing system is one where the system structure appears without explicit intervention from outside the system)
