He is the instigator of the Hole in the Wall (HIW) experiment, where a computer was embedded within a wall in an Indian slum at Kalkaji, Delhi and children were allowed to freely use it. The experiment aimed to prove that kids could be taught computers very easily without any formal training. Sugata termed this as Minimally Invasive Education (MIE). https://padlet.com/sheenrachel/losze5n0zux3n8de/wish/2026754832 2022-02-03 04:21:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sheenrachel/losze5n0zux3n8de/wish/2026754832 https://padlet.com/sheenrachel/losze5n0zux3n8de/wish/2026755007 In 1999, the Hole in the Wall (HIW) experiments in children’s learning, was first conducted. In the initial experiment, a computer was placed in a kiosk in a wall in a slum at Kalkaji, Delhi and children were allowed to use it freely. The experiment aimed at proving that children could be taught by computers very easily without any formal training. Mitra termed this Minimally Invasive Education (MIE). The experiment has since been repeated. HIW placed some 23 kiosks in rural India. In 2004 the experiment was carried out in Cambodia.]]> 2022-02-03 04:22:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sheenrachel/losze5n0zux3n8de/wish/2026755007 "Remoteness affects the quality of education. Educational technology should be introduced into remote areas first, and other areas later. Values are acquired; doctrine and dogma are imposed -- the two opposing mechanisms. And learning is most likely a self-organizing system. If you put all the four together, then it gives -- according to me -- it gives us a goal, a vision, for educational technology. An educational technology and pedagogy that is digital, automatic, fault-tolerant, minimally invasive, connected and self-organized." lisamarybejoy https://padlet.com/sheenrachel/losze5n0zux3n8de/wish/2026755625 2022-02-03 04:22:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sheenrachel/losze5n0zux3n8de/wish/2026755625 “Mitra argues that the information revolution has enabled a style of learning that wasn’t possible before.” — Wired lisamarybejoy https://padlet.com/sheenrachel/losze5n0zux3n8de/wish/2026758141 2022-02-03 04:24:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sheenrachel/losze5n0zux3n8de/wish/2026758141 https://youtu.be/svWynGmBQb0 https://padlet.com/sheenrachel/losze5n0zux3n8de/wish/2026759601 2022-02-03 04:25:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sheenrachel/losze5n0zux3n8de/wish/2026759601
