TED TALKS2What did you learn from these talks? What arguments does the speaker use to explain their idea?From Sir Ken Robinson talk, I learned that our current education system needs change in order to obtain best results. I also learned that as human beings we are naturally dynamic and inherently creative and that the curiosity of our children is what makes them want to learn more. Similarly I learned that the duty of a teacher is to facilitate learning by, provoking, mentoring and delivering also teachers should be given responsibility by supporting them, trusting them andhelping them to boost the education of our children. Robinson uses curiosity and creativity of human nature to explain his ideas. (Robinson, 2013).From Ramsey Mussalam learned that a teacher should encourage the curiosity of the student by answering their questions and the aim of the teacher is to confuse so that it could trigger questions from the students. Ramsey used the phrases curiosity comes first, embrace the mess and practice reflection to explain his ideas ( Ramsey, 2015). He was also diagnosed with life threatening aneurism when he was young this is where his ideas came from so he shares his life experience to insist on his arguments.On Daphne Koller Ted talk I learned that learning through online can be as advantageous as it saves time, resources and can triggers a wave of innovation hence lifelong learning ( Daphne 2013). I also learned that education is a human right and everyone should access education. How do the speakers make their message more powerful, convincing and emotional? What tricks do they use to keep the audience interested?
TED TALKS3The speakers are making their messages more powerful, convincing, and emotional by focusing on their main points (Einstein, 2016). For example, during Ken Robinson opening speech he speaks about the three topics that ran through the conference, later he says as we heardyesterday. He focuses on the main points throughout his speech .Robinson combines his shared experience of the conference to his main points.To captivate their audiences, the speakers are keen on use of key terms, Robinson signals that important words are coming when he says “And my contention is, all kids have tremendous talents (Robinson, 2013) and my contention is a set up phrase and it is an indication that the words “all kids have tremendous talents” are important.The speakers are paying key attention to the use of humor (Dlugan, 2012); Robinson provoked humor and laughter once per minute to the audience during the talk. Humor puts the audience in a good mood and makes them more receptive to your ideas the speakers also uses.The speaker also makes use of Rhetoric questions to enhance their speech (Einstein, 2016) for instance Sir Ken Robinson says (Dlugan, 2012) “the whole purpose of public education throughout the world is to produce university professorsisn’t it?” everybody has an interest in education don’t you? This makes the audience to be alert.Mussalam made use of a metaphor during his presentation he said “Teachers in the classroom must be like a surgeon”( Ramsey,2015), this is because we understand that surgeons are knowledgeable and we trust them to mend our bodies .Like surgeons teachers should be considerate to our children .The use of metaphor makes the audience want to learn more.Please, list ten (10!) new words or expressions you've learnt from the video(s).
