Technology, Entertainment, Design, or TED is a website that has various inspirational speakers. It includes famous directors, presidents and vice presidents. It is not just video clips, but is also inspirational music as well. This section from the about page best describes what this website is about. “Today, TED is therefore best thought of as a global community. It's a community welcoming people from every discipline and culture who have just two things in common: they seek a deeper understanding of the world, and they hope to turn that understanding into a better future for us all” (http://www.ted.com/index.php/pages/view/id/5). I viewed various videos and found them helpful, especially to future educators.
By now I am sure everyone has heard of wiki, and has used it. Why? I would answer why not. It is a digital encyclopedia and more. Most the information is about 80% accurate. It is moderated and constantly corrected. Yes, there is information that may be bias and very wrong. But how many people go here to look up terms, events, people, or ideas? There are many. If not, this site would not have prospered. It is translated into various different languages, making it one of the most language friendly sites in the internet. So to every educator and teacher, please don’t dissuade people from using it. Tell them that wiki is a good site to give you an idea of where to start. Guide them how to use it. It is a powerful tool when used correctly.
