Am overwhelmed by Sugata Mitra's talk on the future of learning. This opens us up to the world of introducing Technology into our school systems and entrenching self dependency, openness to what our pupils and students can do independently making use o their inherent re-searchable minds. although we are so laid back in Arica, am gonna give it a try in my Private School in Nigeria. very rewarding Talk and resource.
Thank you Sir, All of your talk this is also a superb one, really your your passion in education and making your learnings available to us by the power of cloud. also, an excellent way of asking the right questions which ignites the dormant minds.
29:06 - “How do you do it, and why should you?” I’ve applied dealing with similar challenges with applying self-organized concepts to coaching volleyball. It goes against the grain, or conventional coaching wisdom. A long history of coach-centered learning environments in youth sports makes it tough to convince other coaches that deep learning can take place without constant instruction or directing. Coaches want to believe that they are the keepers of knowledge, and that their players can only learn if they are given the information.
i find his thinking wise he gives opportunities to learners to be active participants by so doing giving them time to be innovative. he arouses their curiosity because he is capable of oppening opportunities to be creative to students.
I like his attitude. It's on point. Let's give humanity something and then look what it will do with it. If it's amazing, give it more of it. But don't expect anything.
Beautiful work. Are you aware of the work of the Wilds? Rebeca and Mauricio Wild? They have pioneered self organised learning for the past forty five years in their Pestalozzi School in Ecuador, Rebeca wrote about their work, theories, and results and Mauricio gave lectures annually throughout German-speaking Europe. they used the research work of the cognitive scientists Maturana and Varela- as I too used for my PhD in this area. They used the analogy of how a cell 'works' to describe how children learn. i developed this further too and have taught in this vein for the past twenty years.
I think that the major barrier to creating a system of education truly in the best interests of children everywhere is the prejudice against children participating meaningfully in decisions that affect their lives. The exclusion of children's voices from the debate stems from a prejudice comparable to racism, sexism and homophobia in that it denies rights to an entire group-children-based on an unscientific belief in their incompetence which yet paradoxically insists that children should serve adult needs. Elisabeth Young-Bruehl calls this prejudice Childism, and in her book of the same name points out how the American educational system betrays children's developmental needs through seeking to erase the individual identities of students through relentless standardization, indenturing students out to prison-like institutions, and labeling children 'bad' or 'delinquent' for failing to meet unreasonable adult expectations.
I admire Dr.Mitra unfortunately there is so much of the Victorian Era Style Education system that props up secondary systems such as political parties ,companies who make text books ,economic systems which employ large percentages of the population,government contracts to companies who provide services and supplies . In the USA there is a federal curriculum called Common Core many school systems are adopting this curriculum because the school gets more federal funding as an incentive The curriculum is the polar opposite of The way Dr.Mitra has demonstrated is a nurturing learning environment where children flourish.The Teachers and parents all hate Common Core but now they are stuck with it because they took the funding funding that was available due to government contracts with corporations like Coke Cola where they can put their vending machines in the schools many teachers unions are on to this scam cooked up by politicians and corporations who benefit..it is disturbing when you look in to it how they treat our children like cattle .I hope Dr.Mitras vision for education is realized in the near future!
There are so many free online resources to use and choose from. It would be silly not to use them! I love flipping and created my own videos for my flipped classroom experiment with little learners in Finland. You'll find the research and videos from my channel. Hope you find them useful!

Absolutely wonderful!
Great teaching with easy learning that brings change in decision making for progress
Amazing talk! Fantastic research work!
