If you haven't come across them yet, TED talks are a fascinating series of online lectures/talks that originate from conferences held periodically and at varying sites (though primarily Long Beach and Palm Springs). They're often fascinating, and in that way where you know they've hit the big time are often reposted on Facebook. HEre's the link:

And one of my all-time favorites of course has an education slant:

Enjoy.
My friend had posted a TED talk on her facebook a couple weeks ago. Very cool! The speakers are really interesting. My favorite is on the Islamic comic book super heros. Not only do they fight crime, but they also teach about understanding the Islamic faith. Obama gave the creator, Naif Al-Mutawa, a shout out at one of his conferences this past summer.
