Education from everyday experiences.

The New Way to Present Academia

It is time to modernize the way we academics present the fruit of what we do in the Ivory Tower. Lets face it we academics are without doubt experts in not only HOW teaching and learning takes place and is disseminated today but we are also experts in our own particular fields of study. So [...]

Do Academics Design Lectures for the Space of Delivery?

I was watching David Byrne’s TED video where he was talking about music and the room. It makes a lot of sense that music would be created for the way and where it would be played. Does this apply to other presentations? In particular I am thinking about academics like myself. How much time, when [...]

Ian Gilbert @ TEDxDubai 2009 Re-Imagining Education.

Ian Gilbert Live at TEDxDubai 2009. I had the pleasure of meeting Ian Gilbert about a year ago. I instantly knew that Ian had a story to tell and many people with ear plugs in need to listen and hard! We have a global education crisis today because bureaucrats, CFO’s (chief failure officers), accountants and [...]

You Know TED how about GEL?

You know I am a TED fan and will be going to TED2011 as well as co-curating TEDxDubai this coming December. But there is another group that you might not have heard of and need to also look at! GEL  Short for “Good Experience Live” You are scratching your head right? Well here is what [...]

A little food radio?

I cannot stop listening and watching the Jamie Oliver TEDPrize speech. All I keep asking is what can I do? Sadly, as Oliver says in his opening sentence, I am not so sure people know where to start or if they can see where how! For 3 months I have been saying, “there must be [...]

What about food?

If there is one thing we are all have an interest in it is food! Yet, when it comes to food we fail miserably to really think about how it can have an impact on our lives and the lives of those around us. Jamie Oliver won this years TED Prize and hopes to create [...]

It is how we see things!

Conflict takes up an extraordinary amount of our lives. We live conflict, we spectate conflict and we speculate on it. Yet, we spend far too little time thinking about why we are in conflict. And we spend even less time acting on the small things to ease if not eliminate the conflict outright. The greatest [...]

How to start!

We are bombarded with suggestions about what is the matter with the world and what we might want to do about it. We are buried in possibility really! After watching TED 2010, no I was not there but really did wanted to be, I realized that part of our personal problem with activating ideas t [...]

I was not at TED this year, lived TED via the video feed.

I love the description of www.ted.com as something like the Sundance Festival for geeks and ideas! This year I was not in the audience at TED, and how I missed the buzz! As much as I could I watched the live feed of the show and tweeted my observations, #jamesed_me. Even though I lived only [...]

TEDx Dubai works and other do not get it!

I was part of an amazing experience in Dubai on the 10th of October, TEDx Dubai. TEDx Dubai was all about igniting the passion in people to not only talk about issues but to actually get out there and do something about it. Five people, all with full time jobs that are not related to [...]
