Probably the most well received talk at TED Tea Party City was Alien Woman, who shared her personal and moving story of thwarting the alien invasion. (click for full sized glory image) This Fantasy TED Talk assignment is brought to you by the ds10zone: Create a scene from a TED Talk being given by a fictional character. Obscure or well known, feel free to have your fictional character pontificating on their story, and their “essential truth” that has come to be known as TED Talks. Week’s 1 assignment suggested using one of my all time favorite episodes, The Invaders, which ...
Fantasy Ted Talk: Mom’s Spaghetti
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
I did not do anything classy for this assignment. Instead, I decided to do a take on an old meme that refuses to die. Eminem at his TED Talk, available for use under the Creative Commons Share-Alike 3.0 Unported License “Eminem knew he had one shot to make himself relevant again. It clearly had him nervous after his absence from the lime light. He needed to be taken seriously, but his downfall was that he just couldn’t stop talking about spaghetti. The audience was expecting him to speak in-depth about how his experiences growing up and as a rapper could ...
Ami Mizuno presents: Sailor Moon and the Gender of Power
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
I watched the most incredible TED talk last night. It was led by this super-intelligent Japanese high school student named Ami Mizuno. She was talking about the superheroine group the Sailor Senshi and how they reflect a more feminist, egalitarian and shame-free view of femininity, especially in the ways that femininity relates to literal power and personal agency. Needless to say I was floored. Crafting my Fantasy TED Talk ended up being really fun. : D I’ll take any excuse I can get to return to a favorite story. To say that Sailor Moon was a formative show for me ...
Help me realize my ambitions! Gertrude Stein on Picasso at Ted
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
Those of you who know me from way back know that in a previous life I had a minor obsession with Gertrude Stein. Still do in many ways, since the philosophy of her poetics and her experimentation with the material and the ideal, in influencing the way I think about the representation, have influenced my view of the wold and sparked my interest in Freire and education (the short version). So, even though I really abhorred the Woody Allen interpretation of Stein in Midnight in Paris (along with so many other things about that film), I would be tickled to ...
? The Walking TED
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
I’ve got a little “zombie fever” with season 2 of The Walking Dead having started up last fall. If you haven’t watched that show you’re really missing out on some excellent quality programming for a channel that’s available to most cable packages. I decided to give my Fantasy TED Talk a go with a rather young zombie teaching about effective diet balancing. The young undead are our future innovators in this space! Thanks once again to Ben Rimes for not only creating this awesome assignment but providing the perfect Photoshop template to get folks started!
Tele-TED

I’m spending this weekend all alone, and taking advantage of the peace and quiet to explore some new #ds106 assignments. Here’s my fantasy TED talk: I can’t explain it, but I went through a period in my mid-20′s when I was totally addicted to the Teletubbies. I found the show fascinating — and watching it was a way of completely zoning out. And I was always intrigued by the damn baby sun. What the hell was it?!
Lassie’s Trans-Species Truth on TED Stage
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
Ben Rimes has coined a clever new ds106 assignment that plays with visual mashups – in Fantasy TED Talks you are given free reign to: Create a scene from a TED Talk being given by a fictional character. Obscure or well known, feel free to have your fictional character pontificating on their story, and their “essential truth” that has come to be known as TED Talks. And Ben has gone that extra A-Game step to provide several starting examples and a template to work from. Power. Who would I want to bring on stage to TED? Hmm, think heavy hitters– ...
Slices of Life 41 – Just Being a Blip
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
This is a post that doesn’t know whether to be a podcast episode or a ds106 assignment. Those who take the time to listen might get a sense of just how perfect it is to do it as both. As this is the first Slice I’ve recorded since registering the Scottlo Radio Blog for the latest round of ds106. The audio was recorded at several points throughout the first day back in the classroom for 2012. I think if I ever do get a chance to give a Ted talk or even a Ted Jr. talk, I’d just take the ...
Fantasy TED Talks – The Dude Abides
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
TED talks are passe, TEDx events are small potatoes, and TED-ED hasn’t really taken off yet. So why not create your own Fantasy TED Talk? Well, you can at least visualize your own ideal fictionalized TED Talk with the help of a few images and your favorite image editing software (like Photoshop or GIMP). Created as a ds106 visual assignment, making your own fantasy TED Talk can be as comical or solemn as you want it to be. The idea for this freshly created ds106 visual assignment came from a rather interesting take on TED Talks by cosplay artist and ...
