In one of the funniest talks from TED2012, he shows the art and deep thought of his cover designs. (From The Design Studio session at TED2012, guest-curated by Chee Pearlman and David Rockwell.) Chip Kidd's book jacket designs spawned a revolution in the art of American book packaging. Full bio »"

    "When you recognize a word's prefix, you can make a better guess at the meaning of a new word. Or as our new prefix video says, "Prefixes…It's like a remix, it changes things." By the end of this prefix lesson plan, students will be able to recognize the meanings of common prefixes, use the prefixes to determine meanings of words, and then play a prefixes game where they invent new words using prefixes.

    "90% of users are the "audience", or lurkers. The people tend to read or observe, but don't actively contribute. 9% of users are "editors", sometimes modifying content or adding to an existing thread, but rarely create content from scratch. 1% of users are "creators", driving large amounts of the social group's activity. More often than not, these people are driving a vast percentage of the site's new content, threads, and activity."
