20 of 100 - TED Talks App

TED Talks App

TED talks. If you have somehow escaped this phenomena its time to get on board. Creative, big-picture thinkers on every discipline you can imagine presenting engaging content for you and your students to stew over, debate, consider, rebut etc. The App arranges the content beautifully and makes for a great resource to trigger your grey matter when preparing lessons or to stimulate student discussion. Prepare to be inspired!


Applications:

1. Stretch your mind as an educator within and beyond your area of expertise.
2. Be challenged about the inherent world views embedded in our education system (http://youtu.be/zDZFcDGpL4U) 
3. Watch cross-domain content and look for overlap - leads to some great creative thinking in classroom/professional practice in any context.
4. Watch the education tagged content to be challenged in our roles as educators.
5. Enrichment for gifted students - engages students!
6. Great class discussion stimulation.
