The Child-Driven Education - Sugata Mitra

if you have about 20 mins this may be worth a watch...

The child-driven education

 

​ thought provoking about how children learn, and retain information..

 

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 and peer interest.
