About 20 years ago, a man named Sugata Mitra conducted an educational experiment . He left a computer embedded in a wall in a remote area of ​​India with a high educational deficit.

A 13-year-old boy who had never seen a computer came in. The boy began to experiment, and after 6 minutes he had figured out how to open an internet browser.

After a while the boy left, only to return shortly afterwards accompanied by a group of other children who had never seen a computer before and did not know English. And together they began to tinker with the mysterious contraption embedded in the wall.

When Sugata Mitra returned two months later to czech republic phone data check on the children's progress, he found that without any tutoring, the youngsters had learned a wide variety of things. They knew how to send emails, download games and had a vocabulary of about 200 English words between them.

Variations of this experiment have been replicated around the world and the result is always the same. Without the need for any tutor, children are able to learn even about complicated subjects written in languages ​​they do not know.

There are several conclusions we can draw from this experiment.

The first is that technology is a very powerful learning tool.
The second is that human beings are curious by nature and like to learn.
And the third is that the children always formed groups to study the computer.
Peer cooperation as a teaching method.
It has been proven that when students are given the means to work together to find a solution to a problem, great results are achieved. Not only do they end up finding the solution, in most cases when their knowledge is assessed months later, they all remember what they learned just as well.
