Activity 4B_ Minimally invasive Education

The students that we teach have varying learning styles and abilities and it is true that as educators we sometimes develop the notion that we have to control learning in order for students to learn. Dr. Mitra has shown that this sort of belief is untrue. Children can learn on their own once the right conditions are in place. Technological tool/infrastructure and internet access can take children to new levels in learning that one would never imagine. We have to give our students the opportunity to interact with learning tools, solve problems, make discoveries and create novel ways of doing things. If we allow them to control their learning, it would be less stress for us and more learning and retention for our students.
