Keeps the mind young. I even sneak them in from time to time when I'm speaking at workshops (for example next week I'll be presenting at a conference about inductive teaching and will use Sugata Mitra's "hole in a wall" talk ). I'm such a junkie, I have a HD player which is fed constant updates! http://eflclassroom.com/tedtalks.htm I"ll most certainly check out the Teaching with Ted wiki. Thanks, David http://eflclassroom.com Larry,

I have been looking for ways to implement TED talks in my classes, so I will certainly have a look at the recommended wiki. Thanks for taking the time to share all these very useful tips on your blog! My colleagues have recommended your blog and I can see why.

I was doing some research about forts out west and came across it. I thought you might like to check it out if you haven't already. I hope you are feeling better. I had the same problem you did last week but I got sick from eating in a local restaurant. Jim http://www.legendsofamerica.com/LA-AmericanHistory.htmlhi,
