TED, the conference that is tagged “Ideas Worth Spreading,” is testing Public Broadcasting and the New York public WNET for a one-hour special. “TED Talks Education” will air this Tuesday. If all goes well, TED’s famous conferences might get a weekly gig. The first segment will be hosted by the singer John Legend, who taped it in April before an audience at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The show features teachers, students, and those interested in education reform, like Bill Gates.

One of the speakers is English author Sir Ken Robinson. His 2006 TED talk, which covers creativity in education, has been viewed 16 million times, one of the most popular.

TED edited the talks so they are more appropriate for TV. Full length versions will appear on the PBS website.
