Tuesdays With TED

Every Tuesday morning, the faculty and staff at SCVi Charter school, gather together to watch a TED Talk.  After the talk we discuss what we learned and how it is relevant to our lives and work. This blog posting is meant to be a running tally of the talks we have reviewed. It will consistently be edited as we watch more.
