When my kids were little be aquired a rather large teddy bear which was forever known as Big Ted.

The TED I really want to talk about stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design. With origins way back in the early 1980’s, it is a conference that brings together the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers. Unfortunately until recently I had never heard of it. Guess I don’t meet the above qualification. Whilst most of us mere mortals may never get to grace the TED conference floor, we can view the material presented there by visiting the TED website. TED’s title banner promises “Inspired talks by the world’s greatest thinkers and doers” and it delivers just that. There is no education category but there is a lot of educational relevance throughout the site. I found “Do schools kill Creativity” by Sir Ken Robertson particularly interesting.

The files can also be downloaded in several formats.
