some online viewing

[Peter Shanks]

Hi fellow talonians - the winter nights are getting longer here in Tassie... perfect for rugging up and watching a few online videos. Here's a little list of TED talks that I recently came across (culled from an interesting spreadsheet http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pjGlYH-8AK8ffDa6o2bYlXg ):

Education
Sir Ken Robinson	Do schools kill creativity?	0:19:24
Richard Baraniuk	Goodbye, textbooks; hello, open-source learning	0:18:34
Alan Kay	A powerful idea about teaching ideas	0:20:37
Stuart Brown	Why play is vital — no matter your age	0:26:42
Mae Jemison	Mae Jemison on teaching arts and sciences together	0:14:48
Sugata Mitra	Can kids teach themselves?	0:20:59

Which should kill a couple of hours. Anyone got some more to add?
