Top 5 TED Talks for Educators

I am a TED Talk fanatic. I try to listen to as many as I can because I think they are excellent FREE professional development. I thought that I would take a break this week to reflect on a few videos that have really inspired me. After a thorough review of the many talks that I have watched, I have narrowed my list down to 5 essential talks that I think ALL educators should watch. Below is my top 5 list. I would be interested in hearing yours.

Andy Puddicombe: All it takes is 10 mindful minutes
