Rise of the global teacher | Lord Jim Knight and Mina Patel | TEDxMidAtlantic
While serving as Education Minister in the UK, Lord Jim Knight saw classrooms being transformed by new technology and teachers using the internet to share lessons to millions of students around the world.

The next-generation classroom is here.

Video conferencing technology in education is clearly the future - the UK DfE need to hear what you have to say Mina. And Jim knight you are a legend !
Video conferencing for Global Learning led by Mina Patel - changing education through technology - well done to you and to Jim Knight - truly inspirational.
Well done to Lord Jim Knight and Mina Patel for highlighting the exciting work being done in Uruguay and elsewhere by people like yourselves, through videoconferencing. If it weren't for the classes being taught in this way, thousands of children would not have the opportunity of learning English - very excited that British Council and Plan Ceibal are now able to teach just about any Uruguayan child in state primary school grades 4-6 (3,300+ classes per week) through this method.
As a Innovation Technology Consultant, it is truly satisfying and encouraging to see the technology being used for distance learning! We live in a 'global village', let's take every opportunity to share, teach and exchange the knowledge with each other... Thank you Mina, Jim and TEDx for sharing!
I am a parent, I want my children to experience learning this way, with teachers from England to teach them English.
This is the future of education for every child..everywhere .....just brilliant Mina!
Subhash Lakhani For children who are thousands of miles away to be provided with the technical facility to learn English, from here in the UK is a most commendable mode of teaching. Well done Mina for persisting with this project even after the rejection of the idea by your superiors 3 years ago .
Amazing vision and so impressive to have brought this vision of the future past the obstacles and into fruition. Thank you so much Mina for persevering - what an amazing journey so far. What will the next 5 years look like I wonder?
The power of technology in global education is great.
Really great to see how education is evolving to be more effective, engaging and wide spread through tech. Great job Mina for sticking through with your dream of video conferencing, really inspiring!
Thank you for this - you've provided reasons to use VC that speak for themselves. Well done for making real this technology for learning. Roger F
Great talk Lord Knight and Mina - well worth watching

Distance learning works with the solution Mina uses at VCfGL. Not all conferencing solutions work in the same way. Quality & reliability is of foremost importance for any technology in the classroom

I too have seen this technology work from the classrooms in Redbridge. It is amazing that teachers in London can teach children English anywhere in the world.
Hope the former CEO has seen this?
It's a shame that he was only my MP until 2010. Richard Drax sucks.
