Week 5 Post Build a School in the Cloud

I chose to watch the video on Sugata Mitra and his idea of Building a School in the Cloud.
First I was intrigued buy the title and then once Sugata started talking I started to think more about what exactly was saying. He used a controlled classroom in a well influenced school in India. He then used other villages that were miles away as his experiment on how children learn from the technology that is put in front of them. His model was quite impressive with how the students are learning and how quickly they were learning. But he goes on to say that schools are becoming obsolete, meaning that they are structured well but with having technology changing ever so quickly the schools are not going as fast. So Sugata's idea is, potentially, not to have kids go to school but use a database such as the cloud to teach students. Students would be able to look at material over and over again to make sure that they understand the concepts that are being taught. This is the way of the future and maybe schools will adopt this idea. As of now many different Schools from elementary to high school are switching their systems to having a more technological part being taught in the classroom. Students are able to look back at lessons and homework assignments for understanding. We have seen it in our own class, that is where the flipped classroom came from. I have already seen this cloud format being used in my own life in college, it also started just before I left for college my senior high school. Students were able to communicate with each other via the Internet, an ad on two projects even though they were miles away. I found it very beneficial to my learning style and I think my friends like the idea as well.
