Two central concepts about self-teaching:
  •       Autonomy: about students' MOTIVATION and INTERESTS.
  •       Network connection: technologies becomes meaningful when they are not only the tools but whereby you can connect with various people who can offer more knowledges and information that you need. 
Further speeches concerning Sugata Mitra's 'self-teaching' and 'Hole in the Wall' 
can kids teach themselves?


'Holes in the Wall'



Sugata Mitra's "Hole in the Wall" experiments have shown that, in the absence of supervision or formal teaching, children can teach themselves and each other, if they're MOTIVATED by curiosity and peer INTEREST.(From TED)
