By now you’ve probably heard about “TED Talks“.

TED is a non-profit organization on a mission to spread ideas. TED’s tagline is Ideas worth spreading. How do they go about accomplishing their mission?

They provide powerful “talks” which are 18 minutes or less in length.

I’ve come across a few gems and today I’m sharing Must Watch TED Talks for Homeschoolers.

So, grab a spot where you can share these while you are Homeschooling High School (after previewing them yourself first)!
