Here's another great TED speech by Dave Eggers given to accept his 2008 TED Prize. In his speech, Eggers asks the TED community to personally, creatively engage with local public schools. "With spellbinding eagerness, he talks about how his 826 Valencia tutoring center inspired others around the world to open." This is one you should not miss. (For more information on TED, see this prior post).
