Sugata Mitra's School in the Cloud

TED's $1,000,000 prize winner Sugata Mitra shares his vision of self directed learning. He beautifully presents examples of the incredible ability of a child to learn complex content through the use of a computer. Sugata shares a story about the first time he placed a computer within the slums of india not knowing what to expect, to his amazement they quickly learnt all the content that was on the computer even though it was in a language that children did not natively speak.
