TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) … now brings together the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes).

Dangerously Irrelevant (Scott McLeod) recently posted his Top 20 TED Talks podcasts for busy school administrators.

You can watch the videos or download them to listen to as podcasts.  I plan to watch more – but right now, I particularly like:

Mae Jemison on teaching arts and sciences together

Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity

Joe Poletti is an elementary school principal.  His blog posts are applicable (and inspirational) to all school leaders, no matter what grade level.   I particularly like his recent post “Random Acts of Heroism”.

Haulin’ Net – Very thoughtful posts from a writer who is obviously very passionate about his profession.  It’s well worth the time to check in on him from time to time.
