PEOPLE - Sugata Mitra: An Interview with the 2013 TED Prize Winner

Professor Sugata Mitra is the winner of the $1 million dollar TED prize. He is a visionary in the field of education and technology. He is best known for his "Hole in the Wall" experiments. The experiments placed a computer in a wall in a slum, connected it to the internet and then turned it over to the community to see what would happen. No teachers, no instructions, just access to the world's living library, the internet. The result was radically positive. Children driven by the power of curiosity figured it out. They overcame language barriers and educational gaps. And as one child figured it out, they started teacher the others. This evening Sugata spoke at TED. I had a chance to interview him prior to his presentation.
