Today during our “free” 8th period, the 7th grade team decided to show TED videos based on various themes in different classrooms.

My theme was “Creativity” but it turned out to be more of a “How To Live Before You Die,” which is heavy for middle schoolers but spurred some great conversation.

Here are the videos we looked at:

The Steve Jobs video was a hit with the 7th graders (especially since they are all excited about the Apple announcement tomorrow) but the Ken Robinson video surprised me with the amount of interest and conversation it generated.

Stay hungry. Stay foolish.
