 1) Video - 1: Sir Ken Robinson: Changing paradigm.

                 In this video Sir Ken Robinson’s talk about changing educational paradigms, based on one of the best TED talks of all time, in which He is Sir Ken Robinson’s makes a compelling case for show schools are killing creativity. Every country on the earth there were two type of public education, academic and cultural. That how we are teaching children, what we are teaching children and what we are teaching children for. In this video we are showing that what are doing as a educator and as a country is not working. This is the time to rethink education as a system and what we want education to be like for our children. He was particularly on board with his emphasis on the role of divergent thinking; it isn’t the same thing as creativity. I define creativity as the process of having original ideas that have value. Divergent thinking isn’t synonym but is an essential capacity for creativity. It’s the ability to see lots of possible answers to a question, lots of possible ways to interpret a question, to think not just in linear or convergent ways, to see multiple answers, not one.

Video – 2: Sugata Mitra: school in the cloud sole.

              Educational researcher  Sugata Mitra’s “Hole in the Wall’ experiments have shown that, in the absence of supervision and formal teaching, children can teach themselves and each other if they are motivated by curiosity.

People are mortification division and sub practicable because of technology people work anywhere they want. Sugta mitra talk about for his experience that he put computer in the slum aria and he found that slum children are learn faster than any children.

           David crystal in this talk about his theory that “Taxing is good for the English language”. We knew about language was much clearer.

And nowadays also our education system is traditional and students are habituated for this traditional way of writing English  language. Students are more use of technology in teaching language its better for his literary grows.
