TED.com

Over this past summer I was enrolled in a creative design course which explored the idea of sustainability and other environmental issues. My instructor used a variety of resources in which to present a great deal of information to us. One of the resources she chose to use was TED.com. This technology can be used to find information on a wide range of subjects. It's purpose is to explain various concepts, and ideas to an audience that may be located anywhere in the world. With countless lectures and interviews of experts on different subjects available to teachers and students, the limit to learning is endless. I have found this resource to a helpful in several subjects and recommend that others take advantage of it's uses as well.

  1. I checked this website out and I love it, I spend a couple of hours watching videos related to education. Some interesting ones was the one by Bill Gates on malaria and education, teaching kids real math with computers, and Charles Leadbeater: Education innovation in the slums. That last one I found particularly interesting how kids in underdeveloped nations were able to teach themselves just with the use of computers and no formal teaching.
