Hole in the Wall Experiment

Watch this TED Talk about the amazing results Sugata Mitra got in the slums of India when he filled a hole in the wall with a computer.  Do you agree with Sugata Mitra's conclusions?  What implications do you feel this has for Guam?
  • Learning is a self-organizing system.
  • Remoteness affects the quality of education.
  • Educational technology should be introduced into remote areas first.
  • Values are acquired, doctrine and dogma are imposed.



"You can drive children with questions. You don’t have to give them the answers. They can find the answers. If the kids/students didn’t get the “right” answer, then teacher didn’t ask the right question. The teacher needs to change question."
