Chris Anderson- it’s long but worth the time to watch

 

Chris Anderson is the founder of TED – Technology Entertainment Design conferences.

From what was once a small LA based experiment, the TED Talks have grown to be an influential forum for some of the brightest and most innovative thinkers in the world.

Anderson himself rarely speaks at these, but recently, he made an exception.

Here her is speaking about the enormous impact that online video is going to have for education, culture, arts, science and just about everything else.

We could not agree more, which is why we are so interested in teaching video literacy.

If you are going to communicate complex ideas in a compelling way, it is about more than just point and shoot.
