Material
Description
This is a great class for young people, teens and gifted elementary school students too!
I'll be sending students who enroll a TED topic to watch before class, optionally, we also skip to key notes in case you're on the run and can't videos temporarily!
Some TED topics students have enjoyed touch on:
- Technology and the future
- Psychology
- Schooling
- Health and productivity
- Motivation and inspiration
Here's a link to TED Talks in case you're unfamiliar.
The TOP TED Talks I've covered with students are here:
