A School in the Cloud and the Future of Learning | Wired Business Sugata Mitra, TED 2013. Photo: James Duncan Davidson Sugata Mitra is the kind of guy every kid wants to be their teacher. Unbelievably energized, always ready with a smile, and always ready to leave you and your classmates to your own devices. Mitra calls his approach to education “self-organized learning.” A professor of educational technology at Newcastle University, Mitra began his professional career as a physicist in New Delhi, India. Comfortably on his way in the software world, Mitra purchased a PC to use at home. But as he came home from work one day in 1999, past the slums of New Delhi, it struck Mitra that the kind of spark, the genius he saw in his son, couldn’t be restricted to his middle class demographic. Mitra did an odd experiment to prove his theory. What happened eight hours later, was that Mitra came back and saw the kids browsing the Internet. A colleague suggested that maybe a software coding student of Mitra’s had come by and taught them to browse the Internet.

Crofters, crafters, diggers and dreamers: Romantics or radicals? by Naomi Millner, University of Bristol There’s a new political movement on the scene and it’s not afraid to get out its knitting-needles. Craftivism is “the practice of engaged creativity, especially regarding political or social causes” and “an idea whose time has come”, according to Betsy Greer’s (2007) definition. By teaching knitting lessons, crocheting hats for the less fortunate, and sewing blankets for abandoned animals craftivism “allows for creativity to expand previous boundaries and enter the arena of activism”, Greer continues, describing this turn to pre-industrial practical skills as part of a feminist praxis specific to the malls of contemporary consumerism. A heavily-trafficked hub of this community is Ravelry, a social network for knitters and crochet-lovers, where ‘yarnheads’ can catalogue their ‘stash’ (unused wool), find patterns, get advice, post pictures, and send messages. But what followed can only be described as a phenomenon of the times. References Endnote
