Jay Smooth is host of New York's longest running hip-hop radio show, the Underground Railroad on WBAI 99.5 FM. Here he shares a better worldview on conversations on race. It's not about being a racist vs. not being a racist. There is real, inbetween, space. From TEDxHamshireCollege.
Kiran Bir Sethi teaches kids to take change the world and brought me to tears at #tedxnyed
Kiran Bir Sethi's TED talk about empowering young people to change their local community was beyond inspiring. Her kids changed the town they lived in. She wrote up the strategy, translated it into 8 languages, and distributed it all around India. The result? Over 40,000 schools working for real change all around India.
For those who don't think that educational change can scale, Kiran Bir Sethi shows you that it indeed can. Want your school to be a part of this? Join the Design for Change contest.
Thanks to TEDxNYED for bringing this video to my awareness.
#TEDxNYED is streaming live. Free staff development that no one could afford if we had to pay for.

Wow, what a beautiful video created for TEDxYouth. I found it a little silly that they advocated for using a Canon 5D, but I'll let it slide since I like the video so much.
TEDx NYED - Apply Today!
I'm one of the organizers for the TEDx NYED conference taking place on March 6, 2010 in New York City. TEDx is a TED-style event, but is completely independently organized. The organizers are mostly educators, but all our passionate about the future of technology in education.
The speakers are amazing, and they include: Larry Lessig (author, professor at Harvard Law School), Gina Bianchini (founder of Ning), Andy Carvin (NPR), Mike Wesch (professor at Kansas State, YouTube phenom) and many more...
You sort of can't afford to miss this event. Because of the limited size (intentional), we ask you to apply. If accepted, the cost of admission is $40. Best deal in town if you ask me!
Looking forward to meeting you all there.
