I recently had a friend turn me onto the online TED Talks. I like to stream them while at work so I have something to listen to other than music (which I inevitably sing out loud - embarrassing myself in front of my cube mates). The TED talks are only 18 minutes each and cover many topics from incredibly influential / gifted people across the world. I think the education talks are especially interesting and also a topic that would interest many bees.

This is one of the most viewed TED talks ever - about creativity in education. The speaker is quite funny and he has follow up talks as well:

Has anyone else listened to TED talks?
