Nebraska Learns 2.0 Thing #50: TED Videos

Nebraska Learns 2.0 is the Nebraska Library Commission’s ongoing online learning program. The goal of our program is to encourage participants to experiment with and learn about the new and emerging technologies that are reshaping the way people, society and libraries access information and communicate with each other. Nebraska Learns 2.0 is a self-discovery program which encourages participants to take control of their own learning and to utilize their lifelong learning skills through exploration and PLAY. Each month, we offer you an opportunity to learn a new Thing (or lesson). You have all month to complete that Thing and receive one CE credit. You may choose which Things to do based on personal interest and time availability If the Thing of the month doesn’t interest you or if you are particularly busy that month, you can skip it. The Thing for December is: TED Videos We’ve got a lot of great things planned for Nebraska Learns 2.0 in 2012 but to end 2011, given everyone being so busy with the holidays, we figured we’d end the year with an easier thing, yet still very educational: TED videos. I’ve been watching TED videos for several years now and I rarely see one that isn’t educational, entertaining, or inspirational. Some of them are all three. If you are new to Nebraska Learns 2.0, your first assignment is to sign up to participate at: http://nelearns.blogspot.com/2009/03/participate.html This program is open to ALL Nebraska librarians, library staff, library friends, library board members and school media specialists. We hope you’ll join your library colleagues in the fun as you learn about new and exciting technologies!
