• A comment on Conversation: How do we capture the collective wisdom and engage the global TEDx communities?

  Apr 1 2011: I think Like Rotary Inyetnational TED should come out with a theme for the year and all TEdxthemes across the world could have themes based on the central theme .This will ensure focus and different ideas based on the central or main idea .We could then cull out Doable ideas which can then be implemented as a community. This will ensure that ideas are not just spread but also done and in small ways help change the world!!

  Mar 2 2011: By the way folks ,the theme of our TEDxChennai held on 10.10.10 was just "DO". And we have actually started doing something about the ideas generated. We also held the TEDxYouth@Chennai and have involved the youth to support many of the ideas. Ideas worth spreading have become "Ideas worth DOING" here in Chennai.

  Mar 2 2011: All the folks who have commented on this post,
  
  We here in Chennai have just coined a word for this TEDucation!! As Chief Coordiantor of TEDxChennai I have been evengalising TED in Colleges and schools in Chennai with dramatic results .This is as simple as organising TEdxevents in schools and colleges. I have also been mentoring these TEDx events .I now propose to start screening TED talks everywhere .In fact we have even started screening TED talks in our church and Ideas worth spreading are spreading everywhere. Now the TEDx in a box will also help us spread the TEDucation in the rural areas!!
