Sir Ken Robinson speaks after his 2006 Ted on creativity:

via Kaplan: (the system has failed you)

mashup the best of everything...

i love this time..the age of mashing it up till we can mash it up even better...
it is your time.. as seen above - self-imposed pacing...but as seen below - make sure you're making the best use of it... a lecture is a lecture.. explore, create, share.....
