Teacher

In the Hebrew Bible there are several words translated teacher which can also mean everything from one who learns and teaches[1], or understands[2] to an archer[3] or even someone who scorns.[4] In the New Testament the Greek word which we see as teacher[5] is more often translated master which was a common title for a teacher centuries ago. Choose your teachers wisely because those who teach often becomes the master of generations to come.

Sugata Mitra's new experiments in self-teaching

Sugata Mitra's self-teaching ~22:21 min

Sugata Mitra is Professor of Educational Technology at the School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences at Newcastle University, England. He is best known for his "Hole in the Wall" experiment, and widely cited in works on literacy and education.

Indian education scientist Sugata Mitra tackles one of the greatest problems of education -- the best teachers and schools don't exist where they're needed most.

In a series of real-life experiments from New Delhi to South Africa to Italy, he gave kids self-supervised access to the web and saw results that could revolutionize how we think about teaching.
