TED talks are the videos we watch once in a while in ESL Planning 10. These "talks" are conducted and given by some of the most intelligent thinkers and leaders in our world today. I would encourage you to visit the web site often and watch the videos (with Chinese or Tagalog subtitles if you need to) and learn something new and exciting! Many of the videos I've watched have changed how I think about things. We will also be doing an assignment in Term 3 based on TED talks.
