In the Future All Children Will Be Taught By TED Talks
Nerd Coachella TED is bringing its trademark 18-minute Condensed Idea Nuggets™ to schools around the nation, with its new TED-ed platform. They may not know how to do math, but goddamn it our kids are going to learn how to beat a patent troll.
The new Ted-ed is a platform for plugging TED videos into school lessons, complete with quizzes and supplemental links. Here is a good one for students: Schools kill creativity.
With this initiative, America's schoolchildren will learn important career skills, like how to dazzle a crowd of their peers using nothing more than a head-mounted microphone and dramatic pauses, and how to create a brand new buzzword out of two already existing buzzwords. We are gonna paradigm shift right past China, people.
