TED Talk 1: Sir Ken Robinson

The fist video that we watched for our TED blogs was Sir Ken Robinson. He chose to have his talk about the education system and how it has been suppressing creativity. What I took away from this video is that instead of helping kids learn in the manner that best suits them, we tell them to calm down and get back to work. His style was very Pecha Kucha because he did not have that slow building to a maximum point; instead, it was very rhythmic and very organized ideas in a very set order. His effective speaking techniques were the jokes that he made now and again to keep the audience on their toes. He also used real life success stories to support his ideas. I feel this whole video mattered as well because he kept making great points throughout it. This video connects to me personally because I see people everyday who could use that kind of help with the creativity that they have bottled up inside. The world needs to learn from this motivational talk and change this system that ruins children’s future.
