In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Sam makes so much sense! I love the concept of scientific method as a way to frame our work - whether students or teachers. I also believe that CCSS, if done well, will help us do this. Ecology, Relationships, Good Structures - simply framed, clear, brilliant lens for our complex work!!
THANK YOU!! only feet on the ground can make the biggest change
Seriously I want to listen more here in ted talk than my modules it all sucks
The first two and a half minutes, his right hand was in his pocket.
Balance!
OK - to summarize (direct quotes/paraphrase): Life is organized by principles of ecology, not hierarchy. Change is best understood by principles of relationship not force. Freedom is best unleashed through simple shared structures not unbounded prairies. This is what the natural world reminds us every day. This is our roadmap forward that will help us remake schools for the 21st century. Hmmm.
Especially true with this guy! After reading your comment, I had to check out Onion's TED Talk Parodies. This could be a parody.
Is the Wicked Witch of the West sitting on the front row?
In the 16 century DATA was all about philosophy some of it religious too ! Check out Newton and Pascal!

Can't take these seriously after seeing Onion's TED Talk parodies!
he looks like nathen drake... :)
Schools keep concentrating on the finger pointing at the moon and you will miss all the heavenly glory.
When I watch a talk about "The art and science of great teaching, I kind of expect the speaker to exhibit the "great teaching" as part of the talk. If this guy taught class like he led this talk... I don't know that he would have been successful.
This guy needs to work his ideas out until he actually understands them. He says good things, but taken together, it's bull
i found this not useful at all.. As a teacher.. I learned nothing that i can apply myself..
all I heard was a bunch of buzz words with no real substance behind it, kinda like every other Ted Talk on education
