Ted Talks

If you have yet to discover TED Talks, you are missing an inspiring and thoughtful resource on ideas that are shaping our present and our future.

For the uninitiated, TED talks are short videos (presenters are given no more than 18 minutes) to share their idea.  TED was started with the idea of sharing ideas in the areas of Technology, Entertainment, and Design, but has grown to include many more topics. These topics include  business, science, math, education and global issues. 

Access the videos on education here, or go their home page,  www.ted.com.

Two of my favorites.
