Sir Ken Robinson Video

I noticed many different techniques throughout this video. This TED talk really moved me. The speaker got the crowd interested in his speech and made it easy to relate to. This article displays some interesting and helpful tips for public speaking. He follows many of them which helps the crowd become more engaged in what he has to say.  He also did not stand still or read of a paper. He made it more fun to watch while explaining some difficult subjects. He constantly looked at each part of the crowd. This made him seem more open and easy to listen to. This video connected to A Whole New Mind very well. He explained that parts of the brain are being affected by education. Children's education should encourage creativity. He does not immediately start explaining his subject, but rather, he compares other TED talks and make a few jokes. This talk apply to education because he believes that school kills creativity. This CNN article explains why parents along with Sir Ken Robinson, agree with this. As students, it is important for us to see how we can apply this or let others know that they need to do so. I think Sir Ken Robinson made the talk very interesting about a not very interesting subject. This takes lots of practice and skill.
