Ali Carr-Chellman shared these thoughts on a TED.com blog post:

My talk on boys and gaming to re-engage learning went live from the TEDxPSU event to the global TED website in January. It dramatically changed my work overnight.

It is thrilling and humbling to realize that the one thing I probably will ever do in my career that will reach more people than any article, or conference presentation, academic book, or research study I may publish, that one thing is my TED talk. It was a talk of a lifetime, and I hope it will move people into deep consideration for the issues boys face and into action on behalf of young boys in schools.
