    May 2 2011: This seems like a great platform for interactive learning, are there any plans to open this up as a publishing platform for others to produce similar content, perhaps for classroom content?

    As a teacher it would be lovely to have content wrapped up like this; video, written and narrated images and interactions as a modern essay. Content is spread wider now, there is no easy (well designed) method of students pulling content together in a cohesive and professional manner.

    I think this is great by the way, a solid next step towards convergence in content. Marvellous.

    A comment on Conversation: How will you take part in JR's TED Prize wish?

    Mar 18 2011: I work in a college in the south of England running a Graphic Design course. I saw JR's talk and showed it to the Photo dept... then we discussed how powerful and poignant it would be to:

    1. Show portraits of all the students who will no longer receive EMA (Educational Maintenance Allowance) and so will lose out on an education at the college of their choice

    2. Portraits of teachers who have been made redundant at the college because of cuts, then repeating the same throughout the local high street. Big smiling joyful faces of those who no longer have work - seems a good plan to post these on the walls of a bank maybe?

    3. Use portraits of local people with a disability and the charity organisation Leonard Cheshire to highlight the importance of access for all in shops and across the town centre as part of their 'Action for Access' campaign..

    The students are so inspired by the JR talk, they often use TED as part of their research and to see the world in a new way. I must say thank you for TED, it has brought inspiration to many including myself. : )
