Watching TED
Posted by: kegill on: 29 January 2007
Once upon a time, I’d heard of TED — I’m certain of it. But it wasn’t until last week, when a COM300 student suggested I watch a clip featuring Ken Robinson, that I (re)discovered it. I’ve now sub’ed to TedTalks and am grateful for my fall 2006 video iPod splurge. I’ll be checking out 2008 [...]
