Reflection on the connections between the three sources

       After watching all the videos I realized that there is something important, which connects all the three sources together: that is the technology.
       According to Sugata Mitra's "A Hole in the wall" project, interest in children has a great role in the learning process. That we could clearly see in all the videos of Digital Youth Portraits. All the teenagers were interested in what can technologies do and how it can help them become what they want to become. I think that interest is the first prerequisite of going deep into the world of learning through technologies. Besides, Sugata Mitra mentions that children in groups can self-instruct themselves. He says that even the language is not a barrier. If they have a computer, they can learn themselves, but it had to be in groups. The same picture was seen in the Digital Youth Portraits, where children in groups are powerful and they can learn, create together through technologies, and teach one another.
        According to Thomas Friedman's "The world is flat" book, when the world becomes flat, the relationships between people becomes horizontal, and, as a result they learn how to collaborate. So they become connected again through technologies, which was again the main theme of the other two sources.                  So, technologies are not only tools for getting information, connecting with others and for teaching and learning, but they have also become the part of our lifestyle.
