TED Talk 5: Adora Svitak "What Adults can Learn from Kids."

Questions:
1. What are your take-aways from this video?
 That you don't have to be a well know, respected, famous speaker to have a good point, and be able to get it across.

2. What are the speaker's effective speaking techniques?
 She is very serious for a young girl, she is short and to the point about what she wants to get across.

3. What is his/her presentation style?
She walks around and looks at her notes occasionally, and also has a slideshow that flows well to keep the audience thinking and on topic.

4. What matters from this video? How does it connect to you personally? To education? To the world?
The fact that this young girl is so passionate about this topic is what matters. To me it means that we can all be just as respected as those who develop important theories etc, and all you have to be is passionate and want to learn about what you love. To education it means that we don't have to shove learning down all kids throats, some actually chose to go above and beyond and enjoy school. To the world it means that we can move forward in education, medecine etc because of the passion that young people have. We are the next generation and we need to be excited and passionate about these new fields to continue studying, and getting better.
