TedTalks Challenge...Are you in??

Watch this first, before choosing a TedTalk. Then tuck what Taylor Mali says into your heart and hold it there safe. http://www.ted.com/talks/taylor_mali_what_teachers_make.html

Now, pick a TedTalks that looks interesting to you. It's ok if you aren't the only one to choose it. After watching it and thinking about it, write about it on your own blog. How can this affect your teaching? How does it already affect your teaching? What does it tell you about your craft? How can this change the face of education today?
Embed or link up the TedTalks video so that your bloggy friends can learn from it (and you!) too. Then link up here so that your wisdom can be shared even further.

 Pass this around, share it with your friends. Let's get some conversations going!!
