An appealing presentation by Sujata Mishra begins with a sentence which intends to show how teachers avoid to work in some areas because of various reasons. This video is solution or Answer. And that answer too comes in a very fine sentence “A teacher that can be replaced by a machine should be.” Throughout the presentation we get to know about his project/ Experiment which he started with a name ‘ The Hole in the wall ‘ from 1999 to 2001. The general motive behind all this work done by him was to see how computer changes education and learning process.
New Delhi , Rajasthan, Tamilnadu, Combodia, He travelled all over these places to find the difference. The responses were all same that there was tremendous change in learning pace and numerical facts I mean marks..:). Children learn if they are taken to that stage where they themselves want to learn.
