| | | | Harrogate online editor's choice - Plenary by Sugata Mitra | |
|  |
| | | In his talk, The Future of Learning Sugata Mitra takes us through the origins of schooling as we know it, to the dematerialisation of institutions as we know them. Thirteen years of experiments in children's education takes us through a series of startling results - the most startling of them all: groups of children with access to the internet can learn anything by themselves. From the slums of India to the rich international schools of Washington and Hong Kong, Sugata's experimental results show a strange new future for learning. |

The kind of class journal described here is designed to get the students writing freely in a range of different ways. The emphasis is on fluency, as opposed to any kind of genre writing, and could be compared to the kind of oral fluency activities done with students. Read more | | |
