TEDxOverlake - Christian Long - Re-imagining Students As Agents Of Change

Christian Long is an educator, school planner, technology expert, passionate advocate for innovative learning communities, and educational futurist. Christian is the founder of Be Playful, a collaborative global design agency focused on the intersection between school planning/design, emerging technology, professional development, and future trending.

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.

interesting, speakers language was not focused enough though, it seems like he is tossing around big ideas without referring back to the real world.
