In thespirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)From:TEDxYouthViews:5 1ratingsTime:13:05More inEducation

Nebulous Mechanisms (the beginings of Creative Science)
This video is a recording of the first reading of a Science Fiction Prototype written by Brian David Johnson (Intel #39;s Futurist) and presented at the Intelligent Environments conference in Barcelona, Spain in July 2009. The presentation is somewhat amateurish and long (even the camera team get bored and start pointing the camera at other "more interesting" activities). So, this is just here as a historical record and is not recommended for viewing by anyone other than those involved!. Later Brian Johnson went on to write a series of Science Fiction Prototypes which are published by O #39;Reilly and led to setting up the Creative Science Foundation.

The future of data, technology and the Internet: Futurist Speaker Gerd Leonhard #Online12
Thanks to Incisive events for making this available. See more details about the event here: http://www.online-information.co.uk My topic was this: everybody is talking about #39;data is the new oil #39; aka big-data. SoLoMo (social local mobile) is the battle cry of the day. Human-machine interfaces are rapidly evolving and may quickly become commonplace (think Google Glasses, MSFT Kinect), artificial intelligence is the geek-phrase-of-the-day, and Kurzweil says the singularity is near/here. So how will our world really change in the next 5 years, ie the way we communicate, get information, create, buy and sell, travel, live and learn? What are the biggest threats and the hottest opportunities - not just in financial terms, but also in societal and human terms? Futurist Gerd Leonhard will share his foresights and explore the key #39;networked society #39; scenarios" Here is the PDF with my slides: gerd.fm Please note: You can now download most of my videos by simply subscribing to this iTunes video feed (via Blip.tv) gerd.fm *** audio-only versions are now available here: gerd.fm or on the web at http://www.futuretalks.com My vimeo channel is here vimeo.com Enjoy!

The Past: A Century of Teaching with Technology
Technology has been used to enhance learning and teaching for over one hundred years. Most Faculty and Instructional Technologists are focused on current and future technology and often do not have a century old perspective on the interplay of learning theory and mass communications technology. Dr Henry J. Burnett, although primarily a Futurist, is a scholar of Instructional Technology and Mass Media. Professor James Bierman will trace several stages of digital content development leading to the Internet Age. Time travel to the not so distant past and understand the early beginnings of Instructional Technology in Higher Education. (Note: This presentation will be based on the writings of Paul Saettler, CSU, Sacramento Professor of History, A History of Instructional Technology (1968) and The Evolution of American Educational Technology (1990).From:Henry BurnettViews:3 0ratingsTime:33:04More inEducation
