"Interactive technology may revolutionize early learning" | Heather Kirkorian | TEDxMadison

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Heather spends a lot of time conducting research with kids, and, in particular, trying to learn how interactive technology can play an important part in their education. She thinks that with the right team and the right intentions, interactive technology can be as powerful as Sesame Street was for slightly older kids' education!

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
