“Speaking at LIFT 2007, Sugata Mitra talks about his Hole in the Wall project. Young kids in this project figured out how to use a PC on their own — and then taught other kids. He asks, what else can children teach themselves?
“Sugata Mitra’s ‘Hole in the Wall’ experiments have shown that, in the absence of supervision or formal teaching, children can teach themselves and each other, if they’re motivated by curiosity…”
Interesting:
Creativity emerges to solve a problem + expression of curiosity
Children can self-organize and achieve educational objectives
Learning is a self-organizing system (values are emergent properties)
Values are acquired; dogma and doctrine are imposed
