Fostering the Power of Introverts

Did you see englishteacheronline’s Are You An Introvert quiz/post? (Spoiler: No surprise I’m not an introvert)

I thought this was a good on-topic inspiring TED talk:

Susan Cain, author of The Power of Introverts, spoke recently at the TED event about the virtues of introverts. Though they’re made to feel like outliers and pushed to participate in groups, both in schools and at work, Cain says introverts often produce great, creative, thoughtful work.
