Its amazing how human brain can be creative and can adjust with situations. Sometime we figure out some problem that might need other assistance with our creativity and thinking. You can check whole TED Session from Sugata Mitra on how children educated themselves with one computer and their own creative. Here is a link
"Education-as-usual assumes that kids are empty vessels who need to be sat down in a room and filled with curricular content. Dr. Mitra's experiments prove that wrong."

Oh, this is a humbling reminder to get out of the way and let it happen. Thanks for that! Sometimes our own ego, or lack of patience gets in the way and we just have to tell someone how it would be so much easier if you just . . . Seriously, who is that good for? Thank you for the reminder to let it happen and appreciate the process.
ReplyDeleteYou found the same TED talk I did (wrote about it here http://experimentemergetech.blogspot.com/2010/09/education-as-self-organizing-system.html) Fascinating that children - anyone really - can teach themselves. It goes back to the most effective programs where the teacher gives them the materials "and gets out of the way."
ReplyDeleteAmazing what WE can learn from children. And why is that we still see so much lecture and teacher driven classes?
