PIDP 3240 Media Enhanced Learning

A really profound presentation on student directed learning, the role of teachers, what the role of technology SHOULD be... and what role the community can play in supporting education  i.e. The Granny CLOUD.
Love this man, has the soul of a teacher.

Building a School in the Cloud.  
His incorporation of the "Granny Cloud" to support the students is just brilliant- and lovely! 
What he did in India with very rudimentary technology - literally a hole in the wall-  triggered children to teach each other. and within 9 months had the same skill level as a adult secretary.  Even though the language they were learning on was English not their own!  
He raises the question about instructors letting learning happen rather making learning happen.  The teacher sets things in motion, guides, supports... and then watches in amazement.  
This video is 22 min but well worth the watch.
