In-Between Time

In-between college and career. Student teaching and first-year teaching. Childhood and adulthood. This is what that looks like.

25 TED Talks Perfect For Classrooms

world-shaker:

These are all outstanding. Speaking from personal experience, the Benjamin Zander video is one of my absolute favorite TED talks. Here are three videos from the list:

  1. Benjamin Zander on music and passion: If you want your kids to fall in love with music, Ben Zander is your best friend. In this video, the very funny and energetic speaker and conductor of the Boston Philharmonic discusses classical music and why everyone should love it as much as he does.
  2. Jamie Oliver’s TED Prize wish: Teach every child about food: In this clip, “the naked chef” exhorts for change to the standard American diet and speaks about his fight against obesity. Don’t worry, he’s clothed the entire time.
  3. Arthur Benjamin does “Mathemagic”: Arthur Benjamin is a human computing machine. In this talk, Benjamin displays his amazing ability to calculate figures in his head, then he tells you how he does it. This is about as entertaining as math gets.

Oh, so I guess “It’s the White House for a reason” is a thing now.  Alex Zeagler’s is my favorite: “on the off chance this is racist, don’t worry ‘coz it’s not offensive.”

That reason is because, you know, it’s a house that is white.

God I hate people…but especially these people.

Because it’s totally not racist if you say it’s not racist…. bastards!

Casual racism is racism.

Racism rooted in ignorance is racism.

Ignoring that racism exists is racism.

Racism is racism.

Remember a few months ago when that girl tweeted that she was disappointed when she found out I was black? She said she wasn’t being racist so I guess um…um…uh…

Well, this racist bullshit reminds me of that racist bullshit. 

Oy vey.

This honest to goodness breaks my heart.
