10 Great Teachers: A TED Mindmap

If you are unfamiliar with TED it stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design. TED is an incredible site of short videos called TED talks that explore a wide range of topics delivered by dynamic and interesting people from all over the world. TED explains their organization and mission this way: "TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world. Our Mission: TED is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world. On TED.com, we're building a clearinghouse of free knowledge from the world's most inspired thinkers — and a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other, both online and at TED and TEDx events around the world, all year long." Over the years, I've watched many TED talks. However, there are 10 TED talks that have resonated with me most. They all talk about human potential and possibility - and they're all delivered by masterful teachers.
