Computer self-learning Experiment in India "Hole-in-the-Wall" - 0 views

  • In an amazing experiment a Delhi-based IT professional has proved that
    kids can learn computer skills on their own. Over the years the results of
    Dr. Mitra’s experiments have been so spectacular that the National
    Geographic Channel has made a film on his unique research.
  • Again, to his surprise he discovered that the slum kids
    quickly taught themselves how to surf the Internet, read news and download
    games and music. Dr. Mitra then replicated the experiment in other
    locations, with the same results---within hours the children would teach
    themselves how to use the Net.

Computers for Peace: The $100 Laptop | Edutopia - 0 views

  • Critics of one-to-one laptop programs in the United States say the computers facilitate more in-class distraction (instant messaging, MySpace, and so on) than learning, that they allow children access to inappropriate content, and that the benefits of constant access are so far unproven. Do you share those concerns?



    We do not share those concerns, but that is not to say they are not real issues. Our kids in Cambodia learn English using chat and MySpace. Children are distracted if the teaching is not interesting. One education minister just said to us, about the $100 laptop, "Finally, education will include learning."

    I like Negroponte's response to critics of one-to-one laptop programs in the United States which say the computers facilitate more in-class distraction. Basically, "children are distracted if the teaching is not interesting".

      Teachers need to be doing a much better job of showing the data side of their teaching. Myself included.

    For whatever else it's worth to anyone bothering with the comments here, in spite of my failings as a blogger and an online community member, this site has been - from first post to last - a concerted effort at reconstructing the narrative of a Teacher and, particularly, that of a New Teacher.

    There are loftier goals for a blog, certainly, but this has been mine.

    highly valuable discussion ... much of which I'm working on with my own situation and DECS ... I'm certainly taking the perspective of 'Authentic Learning vs Risk? They're Mutually Compatible' (or words to that effect) and hope to be speaking on this May 2nd
