Sometimes I treat myself to a TED talk while I sit at my desk and eat lunch, especially on days when I need to feel 'filled up' and want to combat the feeling of being drained of energy and resources.
You've likely seen Sir Ken Robinson's TED talk on how we kill creativity in education. I've seen it (and used it in presentations) dozens of times.
But I until lunch time today, I had never seen this TED talk of Sir Robinson's from 2010 about the learning revolution.
Treat yourself to 18 minutes. You deserve it.

Welcome Fall 2012 UST Students!
Blogging. I know it's not new. In fact, some of you may be thinking, "Not another page to maintain!" or "Holy buckets, she wants me to publish my writing for all to see?!"
This is a course about literacy, after all.
At a minimum, your blog will be a personalized, professional space to document your learning experiences this semester. In addition, you now have an authentic audience--not only your instructor, but your classmates, as well. Eventually, you may decide to share your blog with family, friends, and classmates from other classes. Your blog might even evolve into more than reflections on your learning--links to educational resources, websites, videos, your own digital creations...the possibilities are literally endless. Could it become a site to share with your advisor, supervising teacher, potential employer? Maybe.
Or, it can simply be the space in which you reflect on your learning this semester. That's okay, too.
