Mary Ann Loch - Kids These Days

Laura Montagna October 12, 2013 Speakers

The first TED talk I saw was Sir Ken Robinson’s How Schools Kill Creativity.  I was instantly addicted to this phenomenon of TED and quickly fell down the rabbit hole.  I was continuously inspired, informed, and my mind opened.   I enjoy using certain TED Talks in my classroom where I teach junior high English.  The kids are riveted by the talks too.  I show ones like Louie Schwartzberg: The Hidden Magic of Pollination, and Sarah Kaye’s, If I Should Have a Daughter.  Powerful, positive and peaceful messages with which we can all connect.   When I ask my students to respond in their Writing Journals, I am often moved deeply by their beautiful wise words.  So after three years of using and watching TED talks, I wanted to do one.   I wanted to move someone powerfully and peacefully.  I wanted to tell the world that up and coming generations are  more than prepared for the future, and how they are going to make a more peaceful planet.  All in all, why we should have faith in kids these days that they will continue to grow into good adults.

I am a TED nerd. I love TED talks and that is why I am involved in this. The talks inspire me and others to do better work in the world.

    • What is TEDx?

      In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxYouth@HumboldtBay, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxYouth@HumboldtBay event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
