Curiosity Driven Learning: Aya Sakaguchi at TEDxBeaconStreet

What are students curious about? Students are naturally curious about their everyday surroundings and yet their classrooms are often limited by four walls. We now have the potential to integrate interactive real-world components to all forms of learning - the trick is to leverage students' use of mobile technology and turn the world into their classroom. We can build learning environments that lets students explore and be curious about the world around them.

Aya Sakaguchi is Educational Technology Specialist with an interest in blended learning environments and is also Co-Founder of Curious Learning, a Resident Venture at the Harvard Innovation Lab.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
