The most valuable and unforgettable lesson about learning was the simple statement, “when you have interest, you have education.” I think that statement seems fairly simple but when applied to a classroom, it can make a huge impact on the education of students. Sugata Mitra’s experiments demonstrate the roles that children can play in their own education. His Self- Organized Learning Environment proves “that groups of children can learn on their own.” It also teaches us that students can be successful in the learning process when given a challenge that looks impossible!
The implications for my teaching include rethinking and redesigning more effective methods of instruction. I think by giving students the opportunity to self-organize in the learning process would ensure them initial and long-term success. It would also provide them with the skills to be successful life-long learners
