A Web Empowered Revolution in Teaching by Chris Anderson (of TED) an unknown but vast number of those grinding out a living today have the potential to be world-changers... if only we could find a way of unlocking that potential. Two ingredients might be enough to do that. Knowledge and inspiration. If you learn of ideas that could transform your life, and you feel the inspiration necessary to act on that knowledge, there's a real chance your life will indeed be transformed. (This is a strong encouragement for both our culture of independent thinkers and our strategy to create Public Domain learning materials.)
