Inspirational or Educational Videos

Ambersky

Lately Ive been feeling like I could do with a bit of cheering up, maybe a pat on the back or something hopeful or even constructively challenging to think about as a teacher.
There has been all this stuff about the economy and cut backs and the publics perception of bad teachers and I just want to hear something different, something to do with education thats not about economic panic.
Heres a video on creativity in education which is my area of particular interest, if anyone else has links to other info on education in general or their particular subject or area of interest please post here.
I know the title is critical but its more a call to recognise the value of creativity and its done in a humourous way.
This is the link to the TED site which is well worth a browse if your ever looking for inspiration, its great. I was only able to imbed from YouTube

Yes thank you See Ye I was suggesting others could post here if they had videos images etc they thought were interesting.
I did listen to your link and it did get me thinking about all our ideas and how they sometimes are easier and clearer in theory than in practice.
Still thinking about it thanks.

This is the best website i know of for Educational Videos. The videos are categorized by subject and level from K2 to adult/college - see lower left portion of the homepage
Some video's cannot be streamed outside of US and Canada due to copyright of content but most can be accessed. The art video's exploring themes are really good and can be useful to explore a theme in any humanities area http://www.learner.org/courses/globalart/
