In English 1A today we talked about some good video resources that are available online. I have offered links to some of these resources here at English with McCabe; you'll find to the right such links to PBS television and Zocalo Public Square. Another source mentioned (thank you Justin!): TED. What is TED? It is, TED says, "a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design."
You could do worse than spend an evening watching their many video lectures online. I haven't had a chance to watch the following, but I heard it is pretty good and might be worth showing to a class someday. What do you think? Is Anna Deavere Smith: Four American Characters worth 23 minutes and 8 seconds of someone's time?
Do you have other favorites on TED? Let us know.
