Ewan McIntosh - Inspiring Kids through Ted Talks 30/09/2014

The kid that had curiosity
moonshot thinking
Our ambitions are the glass ceilings of our thinking
If we are afraid to take risks then we stop inspiring people

Instructions:  Find a way to make something better
Did you touch on curiosity?
Problem Solvers / Problem finders
solving starts with a negative - finders is positive
Video world science festival
When kids got tired or restless they had to go watch ted talks
watch ted talks with no sound and then give a commentary of what they are seeing.  Proper deep immersion
Use question starters
do messy thinking on whiteboards 

where have i been
where am i now
where am i going
they need to write a dialogue 
Hinge Questions: questions are the hinge of a deep thinking project
is 2 a prime number?  Why is 2 a prime number?

After a ted talk you need to come up with something from it

watching is a form of literacy - 

immerse - knowledge and comprehension
synthesise synthesis and evaluation
ideate application
prototype feedback analysis

need to unpack the vocab in a ted talk to ensure understanding

use hexagons to shift around the ideas
STAR = Something They'll Always Remember

Make it their project.
Barriers are referred to as hurdles - you can jump over hurdles

We are a conservative educational system and we need to allow our students to jump over those hurdles.
