Hello, fellow educators! As we strive to make our classrooms vibrant hubs of learning, I’m curious about how you’re leveraging TED Talks to spark inspiration and 21st-century skills like critical thinking, communication and creativity. I’ve found TED Talks to be a game-changer for engaging students, especially in flipped classroom settings where they watch talks at home and dive into discussions in class. They’re short, powerful and packed with ideas that get students thinking and talking!
Have you used TED Talks in your classroom? I’d love to hear your experiences! How have you integrated TED Talks into your lessons, and what impact have they had on your students? For example, do you use them to kick off debates, inspire writing prompts or teach specific skills like public speaking? Have they helped shy students open up or boosted collaboration in group activities? And here’s the fun part: What’s your all-time favorite TED Talk to use with students and why does it resonate with them?
For me, I love showing Sir Ken Robinson’s Do Schools Kill Creativity? because it gets my students fired up about their own potential and sparks lively debates about education. It’s a great way to connect to their world and encourage creative thinking.

The thing that is fascinating about teaching is that you touch the lives of the students you teach. It's awesome to see them learning and growing, excelling in their lives and accomplishing their goals. Something I really enjoy doing in my free time is watching Netflix.
