Lec­tures for Thought

Recently, I’ve been watch­ing the lec­tures posted on ted​.com. TED, which stands for Tech­nol­ogy, Enter­tain­ment, Design, is an annual con­fer­ence that brings “together the world’s most fas­ci­nat­ing thinkers and doers, who are chal­lenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 min­utes).” The one by Jill Bolte Tay­lor, a brain researcher who watched her own stroke unfold, is unfor­get­table. For their thoughts on edu­ca­tion, though, I highly rec­om­mend those by Sir Ken Robin­son, who talks about how schools kill cre­ativ­ity, and by Dave Eggers, who talks about how a lit­tle one-on-one tutor­ing can go a long way.
