Resumen
This paper analyzes TEDTalks discursive strategies using content analysis as a research methodology. Our analysis concludes that the contents of the educational TEDTalks have little real usefulness for their application in classrooms beyond providing some annotations already known by teachers and present among contemporary teaching-learning proposals, and better avoid the panacea of simple solutionism to complex educational issues and the particular MIT ideology that is promoted in this type of discourses.
