Sugata Mitra: The Child-driven Education

I watched the video on Sugata Mitra: The Child-driven Education. What a powerful message! I want to see what my students are capable of doing, now. I am used to telling them what they are supposed to do, what web-site to be on, but this lets them explore more. The closest thing that my students got to doing that was when they did their research paper. They did The ABC's of Hardin County. Most of their time was spent finding information and pictures to go with it. They really enjoyed searching for the pictures. Perhaps that would be the way to go next time, and introduce more text later.
