I am really excited about this research done by Dr. Mitra. It goes to show that barriers to ICT access can be significantly minimized and all students can gain access. In this talk, Sugata Mitra will take us through the origins of schooling as we know it, to the dematerialisation of institutions as we know them. Thirteen years of experiments in children's education takes us through a series of startling results - children can self-organise their own learning, they can achieve educational objectives on their own, they can read by themselves.

I was recently introduced to this research and found it fascinating. I am going to try to use some of this research in my own classroom by giving children access to the technology and giving them some freedom to explore and answer questions for themselves. I am excited to see how it works out!
