TED Talk 6: Dave Eggers

Questions:
1. What are your take-aways from this video?
That you can make these big changes, getting kids to do homework and really try, through something small. You just have to think that you can make a change, and go for it. They thought that kids needed this, so they went for it. Also, that it can be fun, that school, doesn't have to be school, it can be the back of a pirate suupply shop.
2. What are the speaker's effective speaking techniques?
He is funny and joking, but still serious and on topic. He used examples of the stores and kids from the tutoring business to show how well it works.

3. What is his/her presentation style?
He uses slides and pictures to show how well it is working and how much people like it.

4. What matters from this video? How does it connect to you personally? To education? To the world?
What matters is how much the kids care about it, they honestly like writing after being there. They learn how to write not just that they have to write for school. To me it means that I should think about my writing, not just push through finishing it because I have to, but look at it as something I want to do. To education it shows that there are people who actually want to learn, they enjoy it. To the world, it means that we can move on, we can create more of these "right brained" people and actually change the world.
