Sapir Whorf - Jamila Lyiscott Language and Schooling

In her Tedtalk and in her post at Medium.com, Jamila Lyiscott explores the role language plays in power relationships, particularly as it relates to schooling. This would be good real life situations for a TOK presentation. I highly recommend using the interactive transcript as you view the Tedtalk.

The Map of Mathematics - beyond high school math what is it all about?

Whether you want to explore mathematics in your TOK essay or your TOK presentation, this is a great introduction to the various kinds of mathematics that are currently being explored in the world of mathematics. The video breaks down the field in Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics and explores the various kinds of math that are being done in each.
