They even encourage comments on each presentation and provide visitors easy ways to bookmark TED's webpages. TED conference allows people to download the video clips of each presentation. This presentation by Hans Rosling is amazing, presenting stats on Third World population in engaging visuals: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/92 So, compare TED's, should I say, refreshing approach to "sharing" information, ideas, and perspectives with the outside world and recent DHI conference. Gallaudet University and DHI need to understand that "collective (shared) intelligence" is very important and needs to be shared in "social" media. Say, would it be great I download a video clip of Paddy Ladd's presentation on "DeafHood" and watching it on my video iPod while riding on a bus back home? Then later, I write a post about it in my blog sharing my thoughts with the readers. Empowering, isn't it!? Liberating, isn't it!? Think about it: DHI is starving the future Deaf generations of important visual information. Nuances in signs, facial expressions, body language, gestures of the speaker are equally important to the "message". It's not about policies or guidelines. It has to do something with the philosophy of DHI conference itself and how it choose to communicate its philosophy to the outside world. SHARE, SPREAD, EMPOWER (OR ENABLE)! Take a look at TED’s conference and its motto:
