The Need to Reinvent Ourselves and How We Educate Our Children
Sugata Mitra is a physicist, educational pioneer He was the creator of the famous “Hole in the Wall” experiment which was the inspiration for the School in the Cloud and for Self-organized Learning Environments, or SOLE. This innovative work led the one million dollar TED prize in 2013, given to forward thinkers with bold ideas and a vision and strong wish for making global change. Sugata once said “In an age where “knowing” may be obsolete, Homo sapiens will have to reinvent ourselves. The wish, I hope, will be a tiny step in that direction. If children have wings, they will learn how to fly.”
He believes the internet will become so integrated into our lives, it will blur the line between knowing and not knowing
