TedxWilliamsport
On October 26th, I had the pleasure - the honor - the privilege and THRILL - of giving a TEDx talk in Williamsport. Many MANY thanks to Jerry Christy of Blast IU17 for the invitation to present. It was something I'll NEVER forget.
So, what would YOUR focus be if you were given 18 minutes (max) to talk. By now you know that the topic that starts me to screaming is the issue of access. Access to the tools of the web for both teachers and students. So, I wanted to make that point, for sure.
I won't spoil the plot for you. :) Here's my TEDx talk from October 26, 2011.

Paul Otellini Busts Some Myths About Intel - Arik Hesseldahl - News - AllThingsD
- Moore’s Law is still alive and well, Otellini said. In 1997, Intel built a supercomputer called ASCI Red that could compute one teraflop. It required 2,500 square feet of space and 9,298 chips to get the number crunching done. Earlier this month, Intel announced a chip codenamed Knight’s Corner that can do a teraflop by itself. In the mainstream marketplace, today’s notebooks are 300 times more powerful than notebooks built in 1995.

Invasive species are blight on U.S. landscape – USATODAY.com
"America is under siege — not by a foreign power, but by invasive species slowly working their way across the nation, leaving a sometimes-devastated and often-changed landscape in their wake."
- Just as Dutch elm disease from Asia removed an iconic tree from the American landscape beginning in the 1940s, the emerald ash borer may conquer the ash tree in coming years.
