Have you every heard of TED Talks?

 

Each year, the TED conference hosts some of the world's most fascinating
people:  trusted voices and convention-breaking mavericks, icons and
geniuses. This invitation-only conference is truly outstanding. 

 

Through the technology of the internet, we will bring these discussions
to CPCC for everyone to participate.

 

Thursday, March 1, 2007, at 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in Professional
Development Building, Room 319.

 

Come for part or all of the videos and discussions.

Free learning resources will be available.

This week's discussion:

*	Jeff Han is a research scientist and the inventor of an
"interface-free" touch-driven, computer screen. 
*	Three minutes of fast-paced, whip-smart wordsmithing from
spoken-word artist Rives, who has some unconventional ideas about how
the internet should be run. 

 

Presentation U. and the Futures Institute are jointly sponsoring this
video/discussion workshop. Open to faculty, staff and students. 

Bring your imagination and an open mind.
