List Entry: Class Video Resources - Ted Talks and Business Movies

Hi Everyone!

About a month ago I found myself  in the need for some documentaries, business related movies or videos to show my night class. While I have a list of videos to show from the textbook publisher I was really itching for something brand new, not only for the students but for myself as well. So today I decided to put the videos and Ted Talks, I use for my classes all in one spot. For anyone looking for something fresh. Please feel free to provide any suggestions as well!
