I have watched the TED talks and I am very Inspired by what Mitra has to say. Many of his ideas are similar to the Montessori philosophy, which we already use at home. I tried an experiment with my 8 year old by giving him a sentence in Russian (he doesn't speak Russian). He had no idea which language it was, I left him to it and he soon figured out how to use google translate and then how to answer the question. We are now going to try the techniques outlines in the book with a group of friends but to do it virtually using g+.If you are fed up with the current teacher centered learning technique and believe children should be encouraged to think more and fall in love with learning, the I think you will love this book.
