Ken Robinson’s talk “How to escape education's death valley” is one of my favorites. It was recorded in April of 2013. I highly recommend that you watch his latest talk on TED.com. The quotes I assembled for the talk are the one’s most salient to me personally. This is not an attempt to summarize his talk in anyway, but perhaps a quote or two will be useful for you in your own presentations related to education, etc. The slides are in PDF, but you can easily cut and paste text as you wish. You can of, course, get the entire transcript of the talk on the ted.com website (in many languages). Let’s keep the conversation regarding the education revolution going. peace - garr

There’s nothing like a laugh. And when standing in front of people, presenting an idea, you can wedge your way into their hearts and minds through their funny bone. Study tips and the pros who use them to effectively weave humor into your next presentation.
Many ITSM teams are collectives of internal staff, partners and vendors dispersed across space, organisational boundaries and time. However, only a small proportion of our virtual ITSM teams are successful in achieving high levels of productivity and performance. A key challenge to performance is building real trust across the extended team. Drawing on a range of real case studies, this presentation provides a range of key tips for overcoming the challenges and creating high performing virtual, dispersed and remote teams.

A lot of people pose the question, "What are the most effective social media tactics?" I gathered the best answers from the experts and present them here.
Everything for a reason: Strategy before tacticsMeghan Casey
Content strategy is about providing the right content, to the right people, at the right times, for the right reasons. In our digital disciplines, we’ve gotten pretty good at the right people, and even the right times, stuff thanks to User Experience and User Centered Design. But, we can still do better at making smart decisions about what content we produce and why. That’s something we can all advocate for, whether we call ourselves content strategists or not. The end result is more time and money spent on the right things that get the right results and less time and money wasted on proliferating a content wasteland.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand how content strategy fits into your job
2. Learn one simple and fun way to get the info you need to craft a strategy statement
3. Get collaborative tools for evaluating tactics against your strategy
Dan's latest TED talk reminded me a bit of one of his points in the Johnny Bunko book concerning motivation. So here are the slides just from that part of the Bunko book review slideshare deck I created last year.
