TEDxAmericanRiviera - John Seigel-Boettner - The Joy of Looking

About John Seigel-Boettner
CARPE DIEM reads the big yellow road sign above John Seigel Boettner's classroom door. Son, husband, and dad . . . teacher, student, and friend, John is a humble and wand-waving member of the good fairies, those charged with keeping alive the sparkle of wonder in children young and old . . . of noticing the extraordinary in the everyday . . . of holding hands and genuflecting at the little altars around every corner.

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.)
