The TED story

I discovered TED when I was looking for content for my graduating project: Environmental E-learning for capacitate a ONG members. TED has became the benchmark of my research. Some talks has make me discover thoughts and people that I could never know without TED. When I have became professor, I started to translate the TED Talks to use at my classes, even before the TED Translators were available. Nowadays, TED is my main way to reflect about my ideas and to introduce people (students) to a new world of ideas and possibilities.
