I was browsing through the Edutopia Blogs tonight and came across a group of people who were discussing a website called TED.com. TED's tagline is "Ideas Worth Spreading." I thought if everyone was having a "Love Affair" with this website, I better check it out! There are a lot of videos on this website of people talking and sharing ideas. I was trying to figure out how to use this in my classroom and how it would have any educational value for me. So, I typed "Kids" into the search box and found a whole list of videos to watch. One title caught my eye immediately, "What Adults Can Learn From Kids."

This is a video of a young girl talking about everything we have learned from children. She is very sarcastic in her presentation and she is very well-spoken for a youngster! I loved listening to her and found myself wanting to share this video with fellow teachers. She makes some wonderful points and really gets you thinking! I'm hoping to find other presenters on this website who can also get my students thinking outside the box!
