TED Talks
“Ideas Worth Spreading,” is the slogan for TED, & it is an ideal that they have been holding onto since 1984. It started out as a conference bringing people together from technology, entertainment, & design. Since then they have brought their keynotes & speakers from their conferences to millions through their TED Talks online.

Now with the success of TED Talks, they have reengineered their website around it. The goal is to give everyone on-demand access to inspiring talks. They have just recently developed an app for the iPod to reach even more viewers. Great for professional development & interest, along with starting discussions with students!

Here are some thought provoking videos to watch,
 * Dan Meyer: //Math Class Needs a Makeover//
 * Charles Leadbeater: //Education Innovation in the Slums//
 * Adora Svitak: //What Adults can Learn from Kids//
 * Sugata Mitra: //The Child-Driven Education//
 * Sir Ken Robinson: //Do Schools Destroy Creativity?//
 * Sir Ken Robinson: //Bring on the Learning Revolution!//
