Ted Talk Response #1

The man that gave this speech used several strategies to capture and hold the attention of the audience. He used humor and his easy-going personality to lighten the mood of the room. The man was very casual, and didn't pace or move around a lot during the video. At first, his jokes were funny, and kept me interested. As the speech went on though, the jokes got repetative and kept veering off of his original points on education. His use of quotes from his friends, family, and people like picasso were very interesting, and most of them provoked thought. I learned that many more people are coming to the decision that education needs to change to ensure a brighter future for generations to come. It can no longer be tought to one specific kind of learner, and our educators need to broaden their horizon.
