About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

[Keith Young]

"HEY MOM! YOU GOTTA WATCH THIS!!"

[ALucas73]

If we understand everything he says, does his lisp matter? If he was a newsreader I'd say yes, but if talking in public is not his primary job, then I don't think it's that much of a problem.

[Becky Savastio]

I can't wait to debunk all of the ideas in this video with actual data and science, rather than what Zichermann puts forth, which is based on nothing but skewed facts and conjecture.

"Where in the World is Carmen Sandiago?" was the best game of my childhood. The creators of that game and the game show were geniuses. It has this feel to it... Grittiness... But there is no actual grit!

[ElleonOnline]

imagine if all classes were taught like this. students would be more engaged in learning.

[pya114]

Even though I as a gamer want better acceptance, I wouldn't want games introduced into education, really.. I see the science and all, but I feel like as gamers we are a community, you know? To make it something everyone does would defeat the point of it being a hobby, or passion.

[Chuks Umeh]

Did you survive it?

[Fix Undfoxi]

Which game could he play in order to treat his annoying lisping problem?
