facts about Sugata Mitra
Agent Of Change Sugata Mitra
Sugata Mitra helped kids with their lives. He was an agent of change.he also also volunteered to help kids living in poverty and taught kids to speak english.An agent of change is a person who makes a difference in the world and brings something new into people’s lives also he put some computers in india for the kids and he put them on english and they helped eachother speak english.The effect of the computers in their village helped them with their education and their english.
When the kids were asked about something like easter they had no idea what easter was so they searched it up on the computers and soon after that they knew what it was.There were also granny clouds A Granny cloud is a Grandma from england who skypes kids in india and encourages them and is proudly amazed for the work that they have done.
Sugata Mitra had a wish which is that we design the future of learning. We don't want to be spare parts for a great human computer. In just nine months, a group of children left alone with a computer in any language will reach the same standard as an office secretary in the West.

Agents of Change can make a difference in children’s education

Introduction:
One person can change many lives like a person who opens the gate to learning or opens the future for education in places like India or Colombia maybe even Newcastle in the U.K.I’m talking about a great man called Sugata Mitra.He Introduced something called the hole in the wall which is a computer about 3 feet off the ground in a clay square.

Second paragraph:
Did you know that an agent of change is someone who changes childrens live by teaching english on computers to show that even though some children may not be able to speak english and that some children do not need teachers to speak english.He wanted to students just to have access to the computers and just wanted them to learn without teachers in the way of the students learning.
|
Third paragraph:
The effect that this had on the village is that they never had a computer before and going to school without teachers might have been hard because this is because he wants to change others lives.He now wants to change lives by letting them do what they want.
|
Fourth paragraph:
This type of learning has worked because for example the have had praise from grannies in New Castle.There are many other like aunties, uncles, mums, dad, there is even a grannie cloud.They communicate over skype, they praise and encourage they don’t teach.
|
Conclusion:
In the future I think that the teachers will be replaced by computers because the children work well when their in groups.
