Right now, you can find 1,520 TED Talks compiled into a neat online spreadsheet. That's a lot of TED Talks. And the most popular one (in case you're wondering) was delivered by Sir Ken Robinson in 2006. If you regularly visit our site, then chances are you're among the 20 million people who have viewed Robinson's talk on why Schools Kill Creativity. There's also a good chance that you'll want to watch his newly-released TED Talk, How to Escape Education's Death Valley. Filmed just last month, this talk takes aim at America's test-centric educational system, a system that increasingly treats education as an industrial process and bleeds creativity and curiosity out of our classrooms. You get that problem when you put technocrats and politicians, not teachers, in charge of things. And you're only going to get more of it (sorry to say) as computer scientists start putting their stamp on America's educational future.
