If you are like us you probably spend a decent amount of time watching inspirational TED talks. Besides being a source of enlightenment and inspiration, TED talks are also great for enhancing your professional growth and expanding your learning network. TED covers  hundreds of topics related to a wide spectrum of disciplines from social to natural sciences. You can use the site’s internal search functionality to search for and find talks by topic, language and/or duration. You can also use the ‘Find a speaker’ feature to  search for talks delivered by specific speakers. Here in EdTech and mLearning we have a an entire section dedicated to curating and sharing some of the best TED talks for teachers and students. In today’s post we are adding another great resource to that section. This is a selection of new insightful talks that have been featured in TED over the last few months.
