Jun 16 2011: I think if you would allow us to see who is on ted in our area we could form super local groups and meetups where we could talk about what needs to happen in our specific areas
Jun 16 2011: i'll second that
it would be cool if we could search for people in our area - with the option of being left out of those searches as a privacy setting
Jun 16 2011: i think a polling option to add to ideas and conversations would be a good addition - an easy way to find out generally what tedders think
Jun 15 2011: my theory is that publishing got the way that it did through government involvement and the licensing process. - that being said i really don't know much about the licensing process
anyone here know the details of what it takes to get a textbook sold in a major educational institution?
Jun 14 2011: Well one thing i doubt it would include is ever changing textbooks.
It seems odd to me that our early mathematics and reading books are constantly changing when the information is not.
I've personally been consistently disappointed with my textbooks since as long as i could form an opinion, and many times my teachers have agreed with me.
i remember specifically that my 8th grade math teacher held on to her old algebra textbooks until they literally fell apart because they were far superior to our modern textbooks.
