Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1999, Sugata Mitra opened a hole in a wall bordering an urban slum in New Delhi, installed a networked PC, and left it there for the local children to freely explore. What they quickly saw in their 'Hole in the Wall' experiment was that kids from one of the most desperately poor areas of the world could, without instruction, quickly learn how the PC operated. The children also freely collaborated with each other, exploring the world of high-tech online connectivity with ease. It was the dawning of self-organized learning, and it would shape the next decades of Sugata's research. This important update on those experiments (which provided the inspiration for the Oscar-winning film 'Slumdog Millionaire') offers new research and ideas that show how self-organized learning can make children smarter and more creative. In this book you will find step-by-step instruction on how to integrate these new ideas into any classroom. It's an important lesson that are reshaping our schools and reinvigorating our educational systems. With a foreword by Nicholas Negroponte, founder of both MIT's Media Lab. This is the first print edition of this book, after TED transferred all copyright to Sugata Mitra in 2021.
