TED Ed

TED-Ed is a free educational website for teachers and learners. We are a global and interdisciplinary initiative with a commitment to creating lessons worth sharing. Our approach to education is an extension of TED’s mission of spreading great ideas.

More information at http://ed.ted.com/about .

• TED-Ed Clubs aims to introduce a school-friendly framework that supports students in meeting regularly to discuss, pursue and present their big ideas in the form of short TED-style Talks.

• We celebrate exceptional student ideas by potentially featuring them at the annual TEDYouth conference or TEDxYouth events.

What if…

The library is a home for shared insights and insightful sharing

Librarians are curators of ideas

Libraries are community knowledge sharing centers

We liberate ideas from isolation

What new and important ideas are in your community?

What role will you play in encouraging insights to be shared?

What potential do local idea sharing events hold for you and your library?
