More than 400 people filled Town Hall on Wednesday to watch a dynamic line-up of 11 teachers, parents and students tell stories about schools and learning.  The format was one of the most difficult out there: a five-minute limit using 20 slides programmed to advance every 15 seconds.

Judging from the standing ovation the group received at the end, the speakers did just fine.

You can read a recap of the evening here (which included a marriage proposal), but we also wanted to share videos of each of the 11 talks. You can learn more about the speakers here.
