Ayushi - Technology in schools A plea for greater use of iPads and laptops in schools, arguing that they’re creative, efficient and fun - and that student learning will improve by making more use of them.
Reese - The terrors of terrorism “There is one thing that people seem to overlook. The only true constant, the one common denominator seems to be the topic that most haven’t addressed: the children.” In this talk Reese urges us to look at terrorism again, focusing on the impact it has on young people. Ross - How ancient civilizations created many modern day conveniences Rome set the foundations for some of the most-used modern day conveniences.
