Ted Talk Sir Ken Robinson

1. What are your take-aways from this video?
I think one thing that I need to work on is deciding how I learn and how I can show my creativity and then use those styles to better my learning. I think this would help me to learn more and perhaps perform better as well.
2. What are the speaker's effective speaking techniques?
One thing that he does while talking is telling jokes. I think that this helps the audience to be interested in the talk while bringing stories and jokes that relate to the topic. He keeps the audience's attention and talks to them about what he believes in. I think it is a great way to show the audience that he is a human and that they can trust him.
3. What is his/her presentation style?
He only uses his voice. He rarely moves his hand and stays in the same space, so he makes his voice interesting. He tells jokes, uses stories, and uses different tones to show what he wants to be serious and emphasized.
4. What matters from this video? How does it connect to you personally? To education? To the world?
I think that it really shows some serious flaws in our education system's throughout the world. I think that what matters is that every person has creativity and learns differently. Schools should accommodate this, but because of our traditional education system, and our conception of what "intelligent" is, we do not. Instead of  conforming to the students needs, we try to mold to students to fit the education systems needs. I relate to this a lot. To be honest I do not enjoy school very much. I do well though, because I do what the teachers want. I don't feel this is what school should should be. School should teach learning not facts.
