Do You Know TED? Using Video To Re-invent Education

Have you heard of TED Talks? I discovered them when I stumbled across a video of a talk given by Temple Grandin. TED is self described on its website as
TED: Ideas worth spreading, Riveting talks by remarkable people, free to the world. You can watch talks on the TED website, you can subscribe to them in iTunes as either a video or audio podcast. I watch them and handful at a time on the podcast channel of my Apple TV. Some topics are of more interest than others, but I always find something thought provoking.

I'd like to share this talk with you
Salman Khan: Let's Use Video To Re-invent Education.

Temple Grandin: The world needs all kinds of minds

Have you heard of Temple Grandin? She is a brilliant autistic woman. My brother has been telling me about her books. I bought Thinking in Pictures but haven't read it yet. HBO has made a movie about her starting Claire Danes, they've been playing it the past few weeks and it's available on demand right now if you have Comcast & HBO. The movie is entitled Temple Grandin.
