			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I have this really great <a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/66">video</a> on tap, from Ken Robinson&#8217;s TED talk about the importance of educating for creativity and valuing the fine arts. Our school is gifted with being able to pursue those things.</p>
<p>I have a desire to share this sort of inspirational video with parents and co-teachers&#8211;the same way I&#8217;ve shared shorter videos with my intermediate and middle school level students. I wish all school families could enjoy a video and have a conversation to respond to it, much the way book groups form.</p>
<p>BUT, I want more!  I want more families and co-teachers to find these video shares than just the few who would come to a book group.  Would being on the net increase participation?  What would be most engaging?</p>
<p><code><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iG9CE55wbtY"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iG9CE55wbtY" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></code>I&#8217;m not sure how to hook others into joining this kind of conversation.  I&#8217;m going to mull it over and look for a way to open.</p>
