I’m not an educator but I do health education. For instance, I’m working on a project to begin soon, titled ‘Fitness for the Life Within’ for expectant mothers in the Volta Region of Ghana. The project aims to promote good health in both mother and child and help reduce maternal mortality rate in Ghana and Africa at large. Another project ,-’Sitting is the New Smoking’ seeks to educate desk workers on poor office furniture ergonomics to reduce the wastage of government and private individuals’ resources on management of posture related musculoskeletal pain and other spinal conditions.

I DEEPAK SHARMA BEING A PRINCIPAL OF MIDDLE SCHOOL REALLY WANT TO JOIN YOUR REAL TIME EDU PROGRAM.
I am a secondary school teacher.I am part of educators in the digital literacy programme in Kenya.We are intergrating information , Communication and Technology.I will be pleased to learn more about TED-innovative Educators and join the cohort.Regards.
TED is a wonderful informational and instructional tool. I´ve applied many ideas in my classrooms and in my reforestation and restoration projects, as well as in my relationships. After over 30 years of teaching, I now see people focusing more and more on technology, and humans are forgetting basic physical skills and the relationship with nature. Children are being fed more and more tech, which is an abstraction, and are getting further away from a healthy life of exercise, exploration, collective engagement, participation with Earth´s cycles and substances. I´m afraid that TED-Ed might fall for this same fallacious misdirection through its tech training. We need more people skills training, parenting skills training, listening to children, speaking to the heart, validation of who they are and working effectively with one another as educators.
As an elearning website for secondary students in Nigeria where mobile telephony is expected to have a year-on-year growth of 16%, whose elearning market is expected to be the second largest in sub-Saharan Africa by 2016, and with students of secondary school age set to exceed 18% of national population; we have in the past four years been consistent in providing text-based educational content to these dear ones in all subjects of the Nigerian curriculum, and seen their confidence and appreciation grow.
But to make the best of these growth, and reach ever more increasing numbers with education that’s truly transformational – such one that helps our students compete with the best around the world – we recognise the high role of interactive, instructional videos being part of our offerings, and engaging them on their turf – social media!
And if the past four years is an augury of the attitude of young ones to technology – especially as related to their education; then the next four years and beyond will be truly exciting, rewarding, and well worth – definitely well worth – everything we will sacrifice.
We most certainly can’t wait!
I want to work in my own center for innovation regarding Creativity in the field of space science and technological and military call on all students to cooperation between us and Altasaad things in life
