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.

diluted her role as an expert, reducing her to just another figure with limited video skills. That also limited her ability to act as an authority figure, one that plays an essential role in keeping the discussion from degenerating into chaos.

fantastic experiment not sure if the title of the article is justified in the text. Biggest complaint seems to be loss of control and authority. hmmm "Students having their classroom ideas judged not simply by their peers but by a far wider audience" and that is a bad thing because...?

Could it be that part of the problem be that the teachers who attempt to teach with "real world" concrete examples have never had any real world concrete experience. 12 years of school followed by 4-5 years of undergrad, now you are a teacher, teach about the real world. hmmm

All tutors have years of tutoring experience, are experts in the subjects they teach and have passed government background checks. ... I'm interested if tutors/mentors/coaches are SA only ... and will enquire later. Also interested if other similar programs exist. Thanks for the 'heads up'

Digital India is not a 'Policy Change" but also a "Social Change" which involves transforming the mind-set of its Citizen. E-Learning and Digital Education are the two sides of the same coin. Students nowadays are apt with Computers, Laptops, Tablets and Smartphones. They are getting introduced & gaining experience of E-Learning.

  Criotical skill, making meaning out of experience. Statistical methods and qunatitative data will tell what is going on but not why. Qualitative approach grounded in the lived experince with customized interventions. I like Twitter and IM idea and the notion that you don't need a hard drive full of stuff but a network of people who know stuff.

elearnspace. Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the Digital Age - 0 views

shared by paul reid on 23 May 08 - Cached

Albert-László Barabási states that “nodes always compete for connections because links represent survival in an interconnected world” (2002, p.106).
- paul reid on 23 May 08
  
  My prediction is that the schools that initiate and establish contact with other schools for authentic inquiry based learning using connectivist tools will gain greater immunity from irrelavence. Relavence will become increasingly important to parents/students when choosing venues for learning to occur. A colleague once said to me that academic results at the private schools she chose for her kids were not as important as the lifelong connections they made with friends with influence. Optimistically I disagreed, but the power of connectivism whilst not immediately apparent is related at the contextual core to this element of Darwinist process.

Some questions to explore in relation to learning theories and the impact of technology and new sciences (chaos and networks) on learning: How are learning theories impacted when knowledge is no longer acquired in the linear manner? What adjustments need to made with learning theories when technology performs many of the cognitive operations previously performed by learners (information storage and retrieval). How can we continue to stay current in a rapidly evolving information ecology? How do learning theories address moments where performance is needed in the absence of complete understanding? What is the impact of networks and complexity theories on learning? What is the impact of chaos as a complex pattern recognition process on learning? With increased recognition of interconnections in differing fields of knowledge, how are systems and ecology theories perceived in light of learning tasks?
