Sugata Mitra
Teachers don't want to teach where they are needed the most. Children will learn what they want to learn. "The method of the grandmother" "Self-organizing systems" SOLE-Self-organizing Learning environment.
It seems that Sugata is pushing for teachers to get out of the way of student learning. Let them research, let them problem-solve, let them discover. Students seem to retain more when they are in charge of learning.
Todd says to check out Sugata's blog. Do it! I also need to read some Dan Pink. Check out Frank Smith, too.
Question: Are we becoming too insular? If we learn by who we are around, how do we bring new ideas into our buildings?
Todd's gonna tweet. @tfrimoth
