6. What could be the implications of this finding to existing teaching practices especially those that are related with the use of ICT in learning?	Using the Hole in the Wall setup with a single PC, children can learn to do most or all of the following tasks in approximately three months:  1. basic computer navigation functions, such as click, drag, open, close, resize, minimize and menu selection 2. drawing and painting pictures on the computer         3. loading and saving files       4. downloading and playing games              5. running educational software and other programs  6. playing music and videos, and viewing photos and pictures    7. surfing the Internet, if a broadband connection is available 8. setting up email accounts 9. sending and receiving email 10. using social networking programs, such as chat rooms (AIM, Google Chat, etc.), Skype and Facebook 11. simple troubleshooting, such as fixing speakers that aren't playing sound 12. downloading and playing streaming media In addition, local teachers and field observers noted that the children demonstrated improvements in enrollment, attendance and performance on school examinations, particularly in subjects that deal with computing skills; English vocabulary and usage; concentration, attention span and problem-solving skills; and working cooperatively and self-regulation. Results, which are discussed in the paper, show that groups of children can leam to use computers and the Internet on their own, irrespective of who or where they are..	https://www.edutopia.org/blog/self-organized-learning-sugata-mitra https://www.emeraldinsight.com/doi/abs/10.1108/eb045849	https://www.edutopia.org/blog/self-organized-learning-sugata-mitra https://www.emeraldinsight.com/doi/abs/10.1108/eb045849	Google	Pseudo-bolean logic
