Sugata Mitra: Can kids teach themselves?
August 31, 2008 by sean.
Amazing talk by Sugata Mitra who planted PCs and touchpads into “wholes in the walls” in rural India where 6-13 year old children not only taught themselves how to browse the internet and run applications on CD-ROMs, but also taught themselves English to better interact with the software. Truly amazing!
