Hi, just wanted to say that i was there in Geneva at the Lift conference at Sugata Mitra's talk. I was filming video interviews for <a href="http://techvideoblog.com/category/lift/" target="_blank">http://techvideoblog.com/category/lift/</a><div>
<br></div><div>I remember I approached Sugata Mitra after his talk to ask him what he thought about the OLPC project. I am not sure I understood what he had to say about OLPC or perhaps I just don't remember it clearly. But I think he wasn't totally enthusiastic about OLPC which I thought was weird.</div>
<div><br></div><div>But I guess that he is researching some other angle on the problem.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyways, I hoe that with Obama that OLPC can hurry up and fix all the worlds problems. Cause the Children are growing older without a much better education system that they deserve. And I am thinking the problem is not only in poor countries, although their problem obvisously is the biggest, I think that all Children in all countries are waiting for the school system to be made better. And that I think is using computers and the Internet in a clever way.</div>

Just saw Sugata Mitra's talk at Lift (<a href="http://liftconference.com/" target="_blank">http://liftconference.com/</a>) on<br>
the hole-in-the-wall experiment and the data they collected. Most<br>
impressive was the concept of self-organized learning that happened in<br>
these places. <a href="http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/sugata_mitra_shows_how_kids_teach_themselves.html" target="_blank">http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/sugata_mitra_shows_how_kids_teach_themselves.html</a><br>
It goes against all the talk about teacher training, etc.<br>
