How can teacher educators provide relevant and important content in an educational environment that is rapidly evolving? TED.com is a website that provides content that meets these criteria in its mission of promoting "ideas that are worth spreading." Rather than ignoring the incredible access to the world's most innovative and dynamic speakers, teacher educators can integrate them into class lectures, discussions, and activities. In-class time can then be spent exploring the content, asking questions, applying the material to real situations, or developing methods to extend the content. Many TED Talks are relevant to educating teachers, but this article highlights several talks that promote teachers' understanding of student motivation and instructional practices. As our society's challenges continue to demand motivated and knowledgeable individuals, teachers have a responsibility to prepare students to tackle these problems. TED Talks provide relevant content that informs teachers of best practices, current issues, and innovative future possibilities.

This article discusses the importance of studying interest and reviews research on the association between interest and prior knowledge. It is concluded that there is a substantial linear relationship between interest and prior knowledge. Previous findings of minimal interest-knowledge relationships were attributed to one, or more, of the following: (a) Knowledge and interest measures reflecting different content, (b) questionable reliability or validity of the measures, (c) ideographic assignment to high/low groups introducing error into group assignments, (d) use of materials not suited to the sample, and (e) possible confounding of interest and knowledge measures. Research suggests that working on interesting, compared to neutral, materials may engage deeper cognitive processing, arouse a wider, more emotional, and more personal associative network, and employ more imagery. A model of the interest-knowledge relationship is updated, and suggestions for further research are made. Finally, the similarity between interest and curiosity is explored, and the advantages of research on these constructs are discussed.
