TED no not your lovable bear that you dragged around for the first four years of your life but a innovative website. TED Talks was set up by a man surprisingly called TED and is a site that’s tag line is “Ideas Worth Spreading.” I was shown this site by my boyfriend who come across it at a conference, he directed me to a video “Let’s use video to reinvent education” by Salman Khan. This twenty minute video goes on to show us how video’s can advance student’s learning by providing a source of information which can not only be used in the classroom but that is accessible at home to assist with homework.
Similarly to Youtube this site provides a list of links that relate to the subject you a currently looking at and may also be of interest to you, which has led me to a TED talks conversation; “How can we empower kids to reshape the education system” that you can not only read but can also leave your comment.
TED is clearly a new innovative site that will allow not only teachers but also many other professionals to work collaboratively and ‘share ideas worth spreading.’
