Hunch Lunch 3/25/11: Mitra on Child-Driven Education

Hope to see you at lunch in G-205.

Please view the video below (17 minutes) and be ready to discuss.

Food for thought:
What is the value of a teacher saying "I don't know"?
How does this apply to our students? How do we give them a global outlook and audience?
What do you think about the speaker's statement about memorizing--or not memorizing--information on Google?
Can 10-year-olds engage with Pythagoras?

Please feel free to comment here.
