TEDx @ BU

Yesterday, I attended Binghamton University's independently organized TEDx event: seven 20-minute presentation on "ideas worth sharing. A big crowd was on hand despite the sunny afternoon. I hope to write about some of the speakers as days go by, but I wanted to at least mention that in the closing address by BU president Harvey Stenger, he championed a "hybrid classroom" that provides teaching and resources on the students' schedule and turf as well as utilizing traditional classroom interaction. He used as a precedent-setting example the 120 million users of the Khan Academy's online learning videos.

Nice to know our first-step ACS efforts are aligning with the vision of our local university.
