A friend of mine recently mentioned they had never seen a Ted Talk. I tried describing it, but unless you see the way it works it's hard to explain. When I was researching Multiple Intelligence for a previous course I came across a Ted Talk that was from Ken Robinson's description of educational paradigms; it's one of my favorites.
Rachel,
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love Ted Talks? I am always mentioning it to colleagues. I love watching them. There is a free app on the iPad for it. You can decide how much time you have to watch one, 2 min., 5 min., 10, 30, or 60 minutes. They are from all different categories. They are wonderful! Ken Robinson is fantastic and so right on when discussing education. I'm glad you found Ted Talks. It is disappointing that many of my colleagues don't read, or listen to, or watch anything connected to education reform. I imagine they may feel overwhelmed by adhering to the Common Core and therefore cannot afford the time to investigate other methods of education. I feel it is so worth the time.
