Watching Ted Videos (This is my own Sharpening the Saw Resource)

[]

TED is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world. On TED.com, we're building a clearinghouse of free knowledge (in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less)) from the world's most inspired thinkers — and a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other, both online and at TED and TEDx events around the world, all year long.

Get Abstract (This is my own Sharpening the Saw Resource) [] Get Abstract is a tool that I use when I want to expand my professional learning but do not have time to dive in to long “professional” books. Get Abstract provides summaries of high-quality, popular business books that are easily relatable to the education world. Each five-page summary is presented in a crisp magazine-page format. You can read it in less than 10 minutes – the perfect length to deliver the book's key ideas. The no-fluff summaries are logically structured to get the maximum out of your reading time. I would highly recommend a subscription for yourself or as a gift for your favorite professional.
