Ted Talks: Educational videos with a kick

TED Talks

Most people have been stuck in a boring lecture at least once in their lives. Teachers or presenters sometimes do not have the most flare in their voice. Other times, you are not interested in the topic; however, what you haven’t listened to yet are TED Talks.

If you visit TED.com, the website’s catch phrase at the top is, “1700+ talks to stir your curiosity.” Curiosity, exactly what each of you innately contain, drives you to further your education. TED, technology, entertainment, and design, is a nonprofit organization that spreads knowledge and thoughts through short, entertaining talks.

There are different mediums for you to participate in TED Talks. Mainly there are talks that are complied on their website. These talks are on topics that range from poetry to ants, to making hard choices, to speaking English properly. The site allows you to choose the topic, event, rating, and language of the TED Talk that you are looking to view. Anyone can find a topic that interests them, but if you don’t want to choose, TED will surprise you with a topic! Just select the option on their site, “Surprise Me,” and they will choose for you.

After browsing TED Talks, you will see that there are even more ways to become engaged. TED has conferences that you may attend, blogs that you may read and engage with, and a newsletter that you may subscribe to for updates and new information.
