Many years ago I watched a talk by Sugata Mitra on his Hole in the Wall experiment. He has now taken this experiment to the next level, showing just how well kids can teach themselves when provided with the right equipment and left in groups to figure things out. His results are beyond astonishing and give hope for the future of education particularly in more remote areas or areas lacking in good teachers. Such an enlightening, fun, and mind boggling talk - definitely worth a watch!
