[xmca] child-driven or children-driven learning
Hi All,
I just watched this TED talk by Sugata Mitra, from India and the UK. It's a fascinating use of technology and groups. Does anyone know his work? Here's the link:

>> "Cultural-historical activity theory, or CHAT, with its roots in Soviet psychology, and Marx and Engels, has emerged as a significant phenomenon in the last few decades. This video (part 1 of 2) introduces the notion of CHAT, locating it historically in the work of Vygotsky, Leont’ev and Engeström. It then develops the notion of activity system analysis based on Engeström’s work.
