An extremely insightful TED Talk by Mr. Sugata Mitra (Educational Scientist). The results of the experiments conducted by Mr. Mitra has many far reaching implications for education and educationalists. The results seem to confirm some long forgotten (and in many cases recently rediscovered) truths of learning that children are born with the inherent capacity to learn. The role of the teacher is not to teach them but to guide them towards discovering their inner potential.
