16 Streaming Video Resources for Teaching, Learning, and Research Julie A. DeCesare TED Talks is a division of TED. TED stands for “Technology, Entertainment, and Design,” and it is a nonprofit devoted to “Ideas Worth Spreading.” TED began as a conference in 1984 to unite the best think- ers from the worlds of technology, entertainment, and design. TED Talks are recorded presentations from the TED Conferences. TED’s scope has become ever- broader, and the quality of the videos, speakers, and content has grown, as has TED’s popularity. Its core mission is to spread ideas that “change attitudes, and, ultimately, the world.” TED Talks is considered a “clearinghouse of free knowledge from the world’s most inspired thinkers, and also a community of curi- ous souls to engage with ideas and each other.”9 Along with two annual conferences—the TED Con- ference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring Figure 2.2 Example of TED Talks embed and language options and the TEDGlobal conference in Edinburgh, United Kingdom, each summer—TED includes the award- winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation including TED DVD on Demand. Users can order up to Project and TED Conversations, the TED Fellows and six talks per DVD, with subtitles. TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize—all of this in addition to TED Talks. The TED Talks website began in 2007, and as of TED Talks Google Spreadsheet File this publication, there are 1,500-plus speaker videos https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsKzp available. According to the site, TED Talks have been C8gYBmTcGpHbFlILThBSzhmZkRhNm8yYllsWGc&hl= viewed more than one billion times.
