TED 2013
TED prize 2013 Sugata Mitra 3: Build a School in the Cloud (script)
Summary
What kind of job can you get in the future by only having the skills you learn now?
The world has lots of computers. However, children, especially children living in poor areas don't know about it and they don't even have a chance to touch them. Education should be equal for all children. They have abilities to learn themselves. They won't need teachers. If someone who teaches children just admires them, their skills will get better.
Self Organized Learning Environment (SOLE) is a school that the speaker wants to create in the cloud. It's designed for the future of learning where children all over the world freely learn with their own hands. Furthermore, they can enjoy and cooperate with their friends. They don't need to go to boring schools unwillingly. They can be ready for their own future.
