Sugata Mitra: Build a School in the Cloud

[@daisycypresstulipgarden2131]

This is the very best presentation about school reforming I have ever seen in my life. It touched me to tears. What an amazing, kind and humble person. This is true love.

[@SuperMemoVideo]

my feelings exactly!

[@NemoPajama]

i interviewed that guy kindest person you'll ever meet

"It's not about making the learning happen, but LETTING it happen." YES😍

[@bacecil5889]

According to Mr. Mitra -- the future of learning is not a competition -- it's asking great questions and encouraging the answers. He reminds us that the most profound ideas are often the simplest. Thank you, Mr. Mitra.

[@MelanieAnneAhern]

Such an intelligent, humble man with such an important message.

[@katya8369]

"It's Not About Making Learning Happen, It's About LETTING Learning Happen." SOLE 💙

[@SEThatered]

Loved this talk! Love the wise man! He literally answered all the questions I had on this topic about "boring education" and "lack of motivation". I kept smiling all the way through the video out of delight and enjoyment. I want Sugata Mitra and Salman Khan to be a ministers of the education in the world, because they not only know what they are doing, they also love it!

[@SkateSafeNow]

I'm revisiting this video with a co-learning person for about the 8th time, 8 years later, it still brings tears to my eyes.

[@DudeTheMighty]

This talk makes me think of the Khan Academy, a website that has a bunch of different curricula that anyone is free to study from. I'm currently studying math on that site. I did really bad in math classes in secondary school, but I'm hoping that learning it at my own pace will help. I have ADD, so school tends to be really hard for me; I tend to learn better when I'm studying on my own since I can take breaks when I need to and don't have to worry about stressful tests and quizzes while I'm trying to learn. I guess what I'm saying is that this kind of school could also be very helpful for adults, not just for children. Some of us don't do very well in a traditional school but learn very well in a self-directed environment. I hope that this kind of school becomes established. In fact, I hope that this idea of self-directed education becomes more widespread. It's a very valuable idea for the future of education.

[@StephenBeale]

Good for you!

[@milworker]

Excellent talk! I completely understand this teaching method. I use it EVERY SINGLE DAY as an adult. Problem, research, solution. Not Problem, go to school to learn 10,000 useless things barely associated with my problem, focus group, solution. Collaboration, idea sharing toward a common goal...great stuff.

[@brandonr1371]

As a father to 3 young children Im beyond inspired. I’ve been a big critic of our education system but haven’t had a solution. This is the solution.

[@prempillay]

An exciting concept for learning in the 21st century, "a school in the cloud." Found Mr Mitra's talk inspiring and entertaining. As a retired teacher and grandma I endorse the fact that the best learning happens when students are inspired, encouraged, and praised for their curiosity and discovery. Modern day technology inspires excitement to learn. An engaging teacher /facilitator/grandma is an important part of the process.

[@pepeolivergener1507]

This is an amazing proposal! I truly enjoyed this TED TALK and its radical view of education. As a secondary school teacher, my feeling is that before we built the School in the Cloud, we need to reimagine our schools. We should be there to provide a positive environment rather than threatening children with exams and distrust. After all, exams are too frequently a way to instil fear. Surely we should start by celebrating our students and facilitating their learning. We only prepare them for this every day more uncertain world if we teach them how to think for themselves!

[@Thewater9766]

Sugata is a highly intelligent and engaging speaker/educator. This mind bending video is geared towards teaching professionals and educational leaders who support innovative and creative pedagogical change. Thank you Sugata.

[@drcarlossanchezcalixto]

I've seen this video 10 times, and keep ketting moved by the wisdom of Mr Sugata Mitra. I love seeing the kids playing with the computer.

[@vikalpagg2011]

One of the best TED talks i've ever seen. Understood current education from the scratch. I & my friends have always been complaining about "EDUCATION SYSTEM" but he approached it very sophisticatedly..

[@Abdultreaty]

First time am commenting on a TED Talk... this man is just great. He is like an alien from a special planet with the solution of the world

[@nokxyluthuli3921]

This is unbelievable, we are really fortunate with such important information we need to keep with time and as S Mavrodi says we are living in the world that is unfair and unjust. The cloud school is a sound idea because the syllabus is not moving with this technological time we live in. We will be lead by greatest of them all leaders who are all ready bringing a true change in all of our lives. We are forever grateful.

[@sundarramans8931]

What a share Dipak. Awesome. So sweet of you to share what you cherished... Eight years ago.. amazing..so relevant today.. hatsoff to you Prof SugataMitra .. I take a bow.. a must watch..❤🙏👌

[@akdo89]

This is the best TED video i've ever seen. This guy is so genuine and witty I can't even... These videos makes me want to learn any Indian language!!

[@digitalageteacher6466]

Incredible! This is the future of education - flipped classrooms, and enabling children to learn rather than forcing them. Once of the best TED talks I've seen 👌

[@SanieTheGreat]

This made me cry it' is so insightful and beautiful

[@CarolGCummings]

30 years ago, University of Georgia's science education philosophy was to capture the imagination of middle school learners (especially females) by making science hands-on and fun. Every year since then, I've incorporated ideas and activities to achieve this goal. SOLE is yet one more way to capture the minds of our youth.

[@tinatavares8091]

I love this man, since 2010 when I discovered his project Hole in the wall , a wonderful teacher Mr Sugata Mitra, inspiring and true

[@austinesimon9197]

This is a global world where we learn everywhere, anywhere and anytime. Education FOR all..... MMM Wonderful

[@brendaochoaparra7239]

Un concepto emocionante para aprender en el siglo XXI, "una escuela en la nube". La plática del Sr. Mitra inspiradora y entretenida. Estoy de acuerdo en el hecho de que el mejor aprendizaje ocurre cuando los estudiantes son inspirados, animados y elogiados por su curiosidad y descubrimiento. La tecnología moderna inspira emoción para aprender.

[@CumulusSkies]

This is brilliant! What an amazing human being. This is one of the most inspirational Ted Talks I've heard yet. Thank you thank you for the work you do! 🙏

[@martithaayala6637]

Quien diría que la realidad de la escuela en la nube, se llevaría a cabo en todo el mundo a raíz de la pandemia COVID en el 2020. Nos alcanzó el futuro. Gracias profesor por su aporte y compartir el fruto de su trabajo de varios años. Éxito.

who? he? You? or who?

[@adeosunadeola97]

this is professor of self independent with one major unique that differentiate him from Schools professors. kudos to you and learning from you here

[@AmeyaBenare]

We are looking at the man who is changing the world right now. This guy must be mentioned in text books of future. Oh wait, but will there be text books if there wont be any schools! :) :) Anyway, if every teacher and parent on earth listens to Sugata, the world would be drastically better place in no time, i don't care if you agree with me or not.

[@BrigSushilBhasin]

I agree, 100%

[@JimmyLeBrown]

He doesn't care

[@capitancodigo2165]

in the future there will be no text books didnt you get anything!!

[@tombuckley7467]

If you read more extensively about these hole-in-the-wall projects, you'll actually find that most failed. Many computers were vandalized, computers broke down (without anyone to fix them), and electricity was cut off when bills weren't paid for the excessive usage. Here's one such piece about what happened. donaldclarkplanb.blogspot.com/2013/03/sugata-mitra-slum-chic-7-reasons-for.html Mitra is a wonderful speaker - inspirational and thought-provoking. But his presentation masks the reality of these sorts of endeavors.

[@skydragon23101979]

Tom Buckley The whole webpage that you linked the blogger never talk about anything that is of concrete evidence against his whole idea. The idea that computers breakdown with no one fixing them, and electricity cutout when the bills were not paid. All those come down to funding and running a proper system. Computers were vandalised that‘s why when you noticed him saying at the end of his speech you need real life mediators.

[@ilmarsabele]

One of the most eye opening speeches I have ever heard!

[@marianormoyle8905]

May I now call you "uncle Sugata". I like your thinking & the way is presented. Kids all over the world should be aware of an alterenative way of learning from the only way they know it now. I specially admire the self organized learning environment, and about letting it happen. How nice it would be to be part of this learning process...

[@fanaramichela6568]

Amazing l was speaking with a friend about school system and I remembered this experience. So actual in nowadays

I have never seen anything close to this. This is so great

I met this guy a couple of years ago. Really nice person with some great ideas.

[@sharepony]

This bloke is my hero. My granny did teach me to read and write before I went to school and she was illiterate herself. Also learnt with her all the muscle and bone names in the body and now this guy is explaining me how she did it. Miss her a lot. Btw, How do you propose someone for Nobel Prize?

[@benjaminbedford8702]

great, the future of learning. there is so much we can achieve when we are open to learn irrespective of the age of the teacher

I found this acutely useful for nowadays education. What is better than learn from each other? Share life experiences, knowlegde, art... and connect with the correct people shall be amazing.

Knowing isn't obsolete. Knowing where to go and what to do to get the information you need is going to become the biggest thing we will ever teach anyone.

Makes me reconsider going back to school tomorrow~`!

[@obinnaodoh5453]

Truly gifted... What a blessing to mankind!

[@polcavaller3238]

I really liked this man's video. I think it has taught us that with very little you can learn, and I was surprised by the idea of the computer on the wall. I think Sugata-san's idea of a new kind of school is very good. I think in the future we'll be pretty useless and just learn to read. When we need something, all we have to do is go on the Internet to solve our doubts.

[@shawnburnham1]

16:29 "we need to look at learning as the process of educational self organization."

[@seraphthoth]

Well done, indeed. Precisely the method to employ when teaching. An uninterested student is not a student at all. Good on you, Barbara Waters.

[@joannajorge5810]

A heartfelt, thought-provoking and inspirational speech. Thank you Mr. Mitra.

[@glmhssnn]

my subscriptions have never been a waste, it was proved today ONCE AGAIN.!

[@kistuszek]

I never actually spoke to any English speaking person in my life. I did not touch any book or other educational material aimed to teach this language. But here i am writing in a foreign language. So how? I received a computer from my parents. And as usually goes, i started to play games, thats how! This kind of learning may be inefficient regarding time, but i learned in my play time! Recreational learning? We need this!

[@obimichael8091]

Excellent,Great and Glorious lecture.Together we will change the world.long live MMM

[@nonnankobra]

My favourite talk in a long time.

I went to his website and its no longer there. Some India gambling site loads :( I'm so sad that the platform for this amazing idea is gone! But the concept will live on, for my homeschooling co-op and hopefully many others around the world.

[@trifenaallaina]

Awesome video and solution! we need this for learning process nowadays.

[@UntouchedJGS]

Is it just me or it feels like Indian people have the craziest, most amazing ideas?

[@adamlopez2339]

Thanks for this amazing Ted Talk, I really enjoyed it. I generally agree with the idea being proposed. It's specially interesting for me because I was home schooled, I studied at home until I was 12 years old. And I think, the actual way to educate the children is not the best, it could be so much better, mainly because of the way to evaluate, the exams. The exams make a lot of pressure on the children, and at that age they shouldn't have that pressure. I really hope that in the future, the way of learning changes and that the children go happy to school.

Would you please add quality captions to clean up errors and add proper punctuations, speaker identifications, sound descriptions, etc? Auto captions are not of acceptable quality. I'm surprised because I've seen Ted videos having good captions on their website, but not on KZbin. Thanks!

[@HardikDhokai]

Really awesome idea and speech... :) I'll surely apply this at every place I can... Thanks a lot for this idea.. :)

[@pemdaslearn]

This is an example of a world changer.

[@landontucker2866]

I found this to be a little eye opening for how slow are education isn’t changing! And still doing the same things 200 years ago in school. So having children or student teach each other and learn with others can make it easier to learn? My favorite teachers are the ones who propose a question while not telling you the answer. It gets you really thinking. I find preachers or pastors do this a lot when talking anything Christian related. What if we had students work together like a group project on homework forcing kids to learns with each other.

[@glockman1727ak47]

Incredibly powerful! This gives me hope for the future.

[@MelanieSakowski]

Also incredibly witty, chuckling and chuckling away!

Just amazing 👏👏👏👏
