I know I have already blogged about using Podcasts in the school or classroom. I wanted to share with you one site that I use when presenting to staff, colleagues or parents, known as Ted Talk http://www.ted.com/
This site has a great wealth of "Talks" or mini-presentations that motivate, inspire and persuade you to really think. Specifically, there is one particular TED talk with Dr. Rita Pierson, an amazing educator, who sadly passed away a year ago. I play this particular moving lesson often as it inspires me, reminds me of the importance of my job and encourages me to work harder at being a better teacher. I have watched this many times and still get goosebumps. I am placing the link here, please take a moment to view her powerful Ted talk. This talk is quite powerful!
