Kids With Ideas
What are your thoughts about teens today? Have you seen how they dress? Have you watched them use phones, tv, computers, games and eat all at the same time? Generally the youth of today get a bad rap. Well let me tell you not to lose hope. I had a chance to talk to 4 [...]
TED-Ed this is cool.
TED has an incredible reach and for a long time I have been wondering how to get TED content into the classroom. Not that TED videos aren’t interesting and enlightening but they could be even more powerful if they were specifically directed to students in a way that meshed with curriculum. That day has arrived!

A Little TED remix
What I love about attending TED ,in my case TEDActive in Palm Springs, is the fact that you are always introduced to another way to add purpose to your story. This year there was a wonderful remix summary of TED played out at the end of the conference and it did not disappoint. Wouldn’t it [...]
Thoughts on the City
This year the TEDPrize went to City 2.0. Interesting idea. How much do you actually think about your city and the interaction you have with the city? I can honestly say I give the idea of CITY little thought. But I do love living in the city and can’t imagine living any other way! FastCompany posted [...]
A Must Watch
Why go to school? What is a teacher? Public education? Smart? Not? Economics vs intellectual? I am moving to a new school in September to help create the UAE’s leading mass communication program. I say leading because if we are going to just do what is typical today there would be no point in moving [...]
Telling a good story!

Communication Outside the Box
Too often when we think of communication we get caught in our our known and accepted reality, the reality trap. Communication can and does take many forms. The ability to harness a variety of forms of communication through the creative process is something we are not doing so well in our education systems. Don’t get [...]
Must Have TED Podcasts!
I make no bones about it I think that the TED idea is the best thing I ever stumbled upon as an educator. I use TED.com materials in all my classes, have collaborated on various sized TEDx events. I have even settled on producing TEDx Salon events at my University. And now there is a [...]
Today TEDxZU Was Launched!
Well today was a special day, TEDxZU was launched. Since 2009 I have been a curator or co-curator of 3 different TEDx events, spoken at a TEDx event and helped mentor 2 events. After my last TEDx, TEDxAbuDhabiU which was excellent, I went back to the drawing board. Actually I asked myself why [...]
Talking to TED, well people who have been…
I have been really fortunate to have been to 2 TED events, one in 2009 and the other in 2011. TED in Long Beach was great but it was TEDActive in Palm Springs that blew my mind. One of my passions has been to talk to as many TEDsters on the radio, I host a [...]
