Response- I love this Ted Talk! Especially the part where he talks about what the world would be like if all the books in a library could talk to one another. In this technology driven society the capacity to share information between various schools of studies is taking education and research to new heights of discovery. I like the idea of "connections" between various subjects such as math, music, art, social studies, history ect. The inter-connectivity of subjects in the school systems is lacking and we need to focus on making education relevant and useful for our students. I would like to see my students find ways to connect their reading and writing in my English course to real life applications. Connections between the various subjects of a classroom are key to effective education and helping students retain and use the knowledge that they gain while in school.
