Education (A TED Remix)

/

Some of the most engaging, talented and motivating people I know are teachers. I know people that left careers in corporate marketing to teach. Teachers that spend their days educating the artists of tomorrow. Teachers that defy conventional methods and go out of their way to inspire a sense of autodidactic curiosity in everyone they meet. What have you learned today? And most importantly, what have you taught today?








The TED Conference (Technology, Entertainment and Design) brings together the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes.) Each conference is structured around an overarching idea. A TED Remix is a new juxtaposition of talks around a specific theme.

What is a Maverick?

/

Did you know the term ‘maverick’ comes from Samuel Maverick?

He was a Texas lawyer, politician, land baron and signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence. In 1867 he went against the norm and refused to brand his cattle. His fellow ranchers began to call unbranded cattle mavericks. 

Another word for unbranded cattle? Slick.
