1-What are your take aways from this video?
I realized that the way the school system is set up, it is all about right versus wrong. While many things in life may be black and white, being creative is a whole slew of grey. Humor goes a long way towards keeping the audience engaged.
2-What are the speaker’s effective speaking techniques?
The speaker uses humor to engage the audience, playing off of common ground such as being bored sitting listening to people talk. He goes off on tangents to make jokes and keep the audience involved.
3- What is his/her presentation style?
He starts with something we can all agree on, spews some irrelevant facts, and then moves on to the controversial matter. From that point forward, he brings the audience back in with cute stories of innocence. Granted, this does play into his theme of creativity in children being important.
4-What matters from this video? How does it connect to your personally? To education? To the world?
This video goes to show how to win an audience on a controversial subject: humor. I enjoy this type of witty humor and could attempt to implement it into daily life. Education is challenged in this speech. It preaches how the process through which education is being implemented is wrong. Many students would respond by not trying on objective based tests. However, one must also keep in mind that the world is still structured by right and wrong answers.
