This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Secondary teacher Anne Doelman believes we need to adopt principles of Knowledge Translation so that we can better leverage our collective desire to improve our teaching, our system, and our world by leveraging research and knowledge in a way the promotes uptake. She argues that fostering our connectivity to change would help us all embrace and implement the sound research that exists.


Anne Doelman is a secondary school classroom teacher for the Waterloo Region District School Board. Between "dropping out" of teacher's college at 22 and coming back at 30, she worked in university administration, tried 3 1/2 months as a nanny, completed a Master's in Communication and Culture and then fell into the film industry. Currently she teaches Communication Technology and is part of WRDSB's Futures Forum project.

Anne is fascinated by the relationship between technology and change within our society. Change is the constant that connects us all and Anne wonders how we can foster a positive approach to change to leverage our collective genius and sense of purpose in 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)
