Education scientist Sugata Mitra tackles one of the greatest problems of education -- the best teachers and schools don't exist where they're needed most. In a series of real-life experiments from New Delhi to South Africa to Italy, he gave kids self-supervised access to the web and saw results that could revolutionize how we think about teaching.
Thank you Dr. Mitra! We started a Home School Center in rural Thailand. wwweb.avodaschool-dot-com Beginning semester 2011 non of our three teachers showed up, because they found better paid work in Bangkok. So we bought computers and connected them to the internet. I functioned as a coach - and the kids found their own information. Although I thought this is a logic way to go - I felt a bit too much out of the box - until I found this great video from Dr. Mitra. THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. MITRA.
