TED Talk: The 100,000 Student Classroom
Peter Norvig, Stanford University
Peers can be the best teachers, because they’re the ones that remember what it’s like to not understand.

SMITH Magazine and TED Books are delighted to announce a new book of illustrated Six-Word Memoirs by students of all ages and descriptions. We’ll be taking submissions from June 1 though October 15 and choosing a selection of the illustrated memoirs for inclusion in our forthcoming eBook, Things Don’t Have to be Complicated: The Art of Six-Word Memoirs by Students of the World.
Published by TED Books, a division of the TED Conference, this book will be the eighth in the Six-Word Memoir series—and our very first entirely by students.
For specs, examples and lots more info, check out:
This is seriously cool! Spread the word to your students and encourage them to make a submission. You could incorporate this opportunity into a class assignment and get the entire class involved. Opportunities such as this make learning real and fun.

“The feeling that ‘no one is listening to me’ make us want to spend time with machines that seem to care about us.”- Sherry Turkle
As we expect more from technology, do we expect less from each other? Sherry Turkle studies how our devices and online personas are redefining human connection and communication - and asks us to think deeply about the new kinds of connection we want to have.

Technology is a part of the way we teach and the way we learn today. How do we create sacred spaces where we can disconnect from technology and reconnect with real relationships both inside and outside of the classroom?
