Today's TED Talks

Philip K. Howard: Four ways to fix a broken legal system | Video on TED.com "The land of the free has become a legal minefield, says Philip K. Howard -- especially for teachers and doctors, whose work has been paralyzed by fear of suits. What's the answer? A lawyer himself, Howard has four propositions for simplifying US law."

Sir Ken Robinson: Bring on the learning revolution! "In this poignant, funny follow-up to his fabled 2006 talk, Sir Ken Robinson makes the case for a radical shift from standardized schools to personalized learning -- creating conditions where kids' natural talents can flourish." I really like his restaurant analogy.
