Child-driven education: video on TED.com

Post by HansV »

This video is rather long (about 17 minutes), but I found it thought-provoking.

This really is very interesting - not finished it yet, but still listening.

"Make yourself understood to the computer."

Thanks, Hans.

I watched this video last week. It was quite inspiring how plastic children's brains are and how readily they learn, even (especially) if they have to teach themselves.
