先日に引き続きいつも斬新なアイディアを提供してくれるブログサイト”Mashable“よりご案内

題して「Top 7 Places to Watch Great Minds in Action

このサイトでも何度も触れたことがあり、最近では東京でもローカル版イベントが開催されたTED(Technology, Entertainment, and Design)は筆頭格でランクイン、他のサイトもTEDのスタイルをモデルにしながら無料で良質なコンテンツを提供してくれているところが特徴です。

国の首相から科学者、アーティスト、思想家、起業家までとにかく分野を問わない「Great Mind」のインスピレーションを高品質の動画で無料で提供されていて、とにかく広い視点、深い考察、熱い情熱・行動力、そして想いが伝わってきます。

残念ながら、プレゼンテーションは全て英語(長くて20分程度)です。中でもTEDは字幕がついていて、例えばアラビア語、韓国語、フランス語等で視聴することが可能です。英語での字幕を見ながら語学学習するには素晴らしい学習教材になるのでは、と思ってます。
夏休みの「読書」と併せて、「動画視聴」も是非試してみてはいかがでしょうか。下記、簡単なコメントと併せておススメの動画を1本ずつご紹介♪

【1】TED (www.ted.com)
開催場所:ロングビーチ(カルフォルニア)、オックスフォード(英国)(まもなマイソール(インド)でも開催
概要:1984年に開始され、現在は年に3回の開催、分野を超え、影響力・創造力を持ったスピーカーが集まる。いち早く動画を無料開放したことで創造的なアイディアを求める世界中の人が数多く訪れるサイトとなっている。

すこし古いですがTEDについての紹介動画「A Mind-Blowing Conference」(8分)2007年1月

英国首相ゴードンブラウン氏によるつい先日、7月下旬に英国オックスフォードで行われたプレゼンテーション。地球温暖化、世界同時金融危機、貧困、テロリズム等、世界の課題がグローバル化してきている今、今までにないコミュニケーションツールとしてウェブ、Youtube、Twitter等のツールの果たす役割は計り知れない、という話

【2】Pop!Tech www.poptech.org
ポップ・テックとは・・・アメリカ、メイン州カムデンというところにある、19世紀式オペラハウスで開催される、1996年から毎年開催されている国際会議。テクノロジーが文化にどのようにな影響を与えるか、また文化がテクノロジーにどのような影響を与えるか、などのテーマを、学生、CEO、ベンチャー投資家、ブロガー、活動家、科学者、思想家たち約650人がプレゼンテーション、議論を通じ、将来の展望のために3日間集い、語るカンファレンス。

  1. Thanks for the simple approach, too many sites bury the actual point under layers of unnecessary words, but here every line earns its place, and a look at trendchoicecenter showed the same care for the reader which is something I will remember the next time I need answers on a topic.

  2. Reading this confirmed that my time researching the topic in other places had not been wasted, and a stop at modernfashionworld extended the confirmation, when independent sources agree that is a useful signal and this site is one of the more reliable sources I have found for cross checking what I read elsewhere on similar subjects.

  3. Generally my comment to other readers about new sites is to wait and see but for this one I would jump to recommend now, and a look at everwoodsupply reinforced that early recommendation, the speed at which a site earns my recommendation is itself a quality signal and this one has earned mine quickly clearly.

  4. Now setting aside time on my next free afternoon to read more from the archives, and a stop at boldcrestfinds confirmed that time will be well spent, the rare site whose archive deserves a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the kind of resource worth scheduling around and this one qualifies clearly.

  5. Appreciate that you did not pad this with fluff to hit a word count, the post says what it needs to say and stops, and a look at apexhelm did the same, brevity here feels intentional not lazy which is a distinction many writers miss completely sometimes when they are working under deadlines.

  6. Well done, the kind of post that makes you slow down and actually read instead of skimming for keywords, and a look at ironvalleydesigns kept me reading carefully too, that is a sign of writing that has been crafted rather than churned out for an algorithm to see today and tomorrow.

  7. Once you find a site like this the search for similar voices begins, and a look at freshfashiondeal extended the search energy, finding a high quality reference point makes the gap between it and adjacent sources visible in a way it was not before and this site has provided that high reference point across multiple recent visits.

  8. Reading this on a phone at a coffee shop and finding it perfectly suited to that context, and a stop at sunsetgrovestore continued the comfortable mobile experience, content that works across reading conditions without compromising on substance is increasingly important and this site has clearly thought about the whole reader experience here.

  9. Found this via a link from another piece I was reading and the click was worth it, and a stop at purefashioncollection extended the value across more material, the open web still rewards clicking through citations when the underlying writers care about each other work and this site clearly belongs to that network.

  10. A piece that demonstrated competence without performing it, and a look at silveroakstudio maintained the same self assured but unshowy register, the gap between competence and performance of competence is one I track and this site has clearly chosen to demonstrate rather than perform which I find much more persuasive as a reader.

  11. A memorable post for me on a topic I had thought I was tired of, and a look at bestseasonstore suggested the same site can refresh other tired topics, sites that can revive my interest in subjects I had written off as exhausted are doing rare work and this one is clearly doing that for me today.

  12. Excellent post, balanced and well organised without showing off, and a stop at discoverfindsmarket continued in that same vein, this site has clearly figured out the formula for content that works for readers rather than for search engine ranking signals which is harder than it sounds today and worth real recognition from anyone.

    返信
  13. Quality work here, the post reads cleanly and the points stay focused throughout, and a stop at openplainstrading kept the standard high, you can tell the writer cares about the final result rather than just hitting publish for the sake of having something new on the page to feed the search engines.

  15. Closed the post with a small satisfied sigh, and a stop at globalcrestfinds produced the same gentle exhale, content that ends well is content that respects the rhythm of reading and the writers here have clearly thought about how their pieces close rather than just trailing off when they run out of things to say.

    返信
  16. If I had to summarise the editorial sensibility of this site in a few words it would be careful and human, and a look at everfieldhome extended that summary feeling, capturing the essence of a sites approach in brief is hard but this site has a clear enough identity that the summary comes naturally enough.
