TED is owned by The Sapling Foundation, a private nonprofit foundation devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader and there are thousands of videos to inspire, motivate and engage. Some of the talks may act as springboards for teachers to develop and further their own ideas while others will engage and stimulate many of our learners in our schools.
Each week we will feature a TED Talk here on our website. We encourage you to make time for yourself to be inspired and entertained, and if you’ve seen a TED Talk you think teachers will enjoy then let us know and we’ll feature it here.
