Hi, kids!

You all know that one of the best days in G/T has been our day excursions to TEDxKids. I know that you all have super ideas and stories to share, so here’s an opportunity for a “pursuit”.

Hugs,
Ms. C

But first we are looking for a young person to delight us with a short talk or performance! We are holding our second annual Auditions for TEDxKids@SMU!
 
Boys and girls ages 10 to 18 are welcome to submit a video that is between 60 and 90 seconds. We want your best story, your latest invention, your funniest moment or your talented performance. Almost anything goes and the winner will be invited to perform during TEDxKids@SMU on October 31st!
 
Submissions will open July 21st and close on September 3rd. After submissions close, a panel of judges will review every video and select a group of finalists. Those videos will be posted on our website and open to the public to vote for their one favorite, one vote per email address. Voting will open September 8th and close September 12th and we will announce the winner on September 15th.For more information, guidelines and to submit your audition application click here:

Best of Luck,

The TEDxSMU Team

Hello, Students!

 

Welcome to the flipped classroom in its best format! I am a bit partial to TED, and I believe this is transformative. This takes TED and brings it to you, the students, in the most meaningful way possible. Here’s our first lesson: “The Power of Simple Words”:  http://ed.ted.com/on/J9rqmrsY. Be sure to follow each step. I look forward to our discussion and learning tomorrow.
