Most of us have heard of the renowned and popular Ted Talks. This organization finds entrepreneurs, revolutionaries, and phenomenal human beings and gives them a platform to share their views and ideas. Ted Talks are an incredible educational resource for teachers for several reasons:
1. Ted Talks can be used to spark an interest in an otherwise uninteresting topic.
2. Ted Talks can be used to challenge a view point.
3. Ted Talks can be used to expand student knowledge.
Ted Talks allow students to receive information from primary sources on virtually any subject that they are interested in. An expert on a different subject can teach the class every day allowing students to get a very wide range of viewpoints as well as informed data. Oh the blessings of modern technology!
