Sugata Mitra’s TED Talk – The TED Prize Winner for 2013!

In this awesome TED Talk, Sugata Mitra unveils a design for ‘Self-Organized Learning Environments’ or ‘Schools in the Cloud’. Building on experiments conducted in rural India, in which children were left to teach themselves from computers (holes in the wall), Mitra challenges the conventional education systems and proposes that we redesign the system. He highlights the success of children educating themselves using the Internet with a mentor to guide and encourage them. He also proposes that the education system be redesigned to ask bigger and more engaging questions, to make learning much more enjoyable.
