Learn each other’s names and get to know each other.

● Share your reasons for joining a TED-ED Club with the group. Let people
know what you’re interested in and what you’re passionate about. This will
help your club members give meaningful feedback when you begin
developing your presentation idea.

!
What will you have created by the end of your meeting?
A name badge that lists 3 things you are passionate about. You will bring this to
future meetings so that everyone in the club knows your name and interests.

!
After meeting #1:
● Browse through the TED Talks (www.ted.com) /TED-Ed Lessons (ed.ted.com)

members to TED-Ed at TEDEdClubs@ted.com.

#1 Introduction week: What’s your passion?
It’s tough to give a good presentation on a topic that you’re not passionate about! This meeting is
all about getting to know your fellow club members and spending some time identifying and
articulating the ideas that motivate each member of your group. Later on, each club member will
present and record their own idea worth spreading in the form of a short TED-style Talk.

fall in love with
something and
pursue it with

Summer 2013
T
he admonition that we should be preparing our
students for the 21st century is everywhere. There
are numerous books, blogs, and content resources
promoting and espousing the virtues of 21st cen-
tury learning. If one examines the titles and descriptions of
presentations at any gifted or general education conference,
reference to 21st century learning is prevalent. Most of us
in gifted education have regularly advocated for teaching
trace their origins back at least 30 years. In 1983, the Na-
tional Science Board Commission on Precollege Education
in Mathematics, Science and Technology published a report
entitled, Educating Americans for the 21st Century: A Plan
of Action for Improving Mathematics, Science, and Technol-
ogy Education for All American Elementary and Secondary
Students So that their Achievement is the Best in the World
by 1995. This publication outlined many of the same initia-

“The world is moving at a tremendous rate. No one knows where.
We must prepare our children, not for the world of the past,
not for our world, but for their world, the world of the future.”
— John Dewey

Creativity is just
connecting things.
When you ask creative people
how they did something, they feel
a little guilty because they didn’t
really do it, they just saw
something. It seemed obvious to
them after a while.

That’s because they were able to
connect experiences they’ve had
and
SYNTHESIZE
new things.
- Steve Jobs, 1995

An idea is nothing
more or less than
a new combination
of old elements.

The capacity to bring
old elements into
new combinations
depends largely on
the ability to see

Everybody in this
country should learn how
to program a computer
because it teaches you
how to think.
- Steve Jobs

“Learning to
write programs
stretches your
mind and helps
you think
better, creates a
way of thinking
about things that I
think is helpful in
all domains.”

“Combinatory play
seems to be the
essential feature in
productive thought.”
