What are you take-aways from this video?
First and fore-most, I learned about these stores around the country that sell interesting things up front, but behind the scences they tutor students and produce stories and books the students create. I learned that when kids do their homework without distractions or dilly-dallying, they can complete it in a short amount of time and this leads to a happier family at home. Like Dave said, happier families lead to happier communites. Happier communitiese lead to a happier world, is the solution to happines 1 on 1 time with students?I love the fact that the students can become addicted to doing their homework early and spend the rest of the night playing. I also learned about how much 1 on1 time effects a students attitude towards school. Despite the fact that it basically is school, sitting at table with pencil at hand, the students don't view it as normal school. Dave said that many of the student's actually came running into the center with their backpacks and ideas at hand. It's more fun and exciting, with more attention for each individual.
What are the speaker's effective speaking techniques?
Dave used humor in his speaking, to interest the audience in his topic. Also, he had alot of hand gesture to emphacize.
What is his/her presentation style?
Mr. Eggers had a powerpoint behind him, which he had picture on. I think that these pictures helped us to actually see what his stores and student tutor centers look like. Without these pictures, I wouldn't have been able to vizualize how this pirate or super hero or time traveling connected with the tutor center behind it. Also, Dave was very casual and laid back. He didn't wear a suit and tie, but causal attire.
What matters from this video? How does it connect to you personally? To education? To the world?
From this video, people should take away and apply in life the importance of 1 on 1 attention with students. I know that in schools there really isn't enought time or bodies for the teachers to be the only ones doing this. Dave said, and I personally agree that people need to get involved, work with individuals, and then tell their story to inspire others. Since this topic of tutoring is education, educato. rs need to find these places that incorporate 1 on 1 attention, and encourage their students to attend. I think that around the world, it would be amazing if it becme the norm for students to always seek 1 on 1 attention and finish their homework early. Lastly, I think people should try to involve themselves witth these stores/tutor centers that already exist, and people should begin to try and build more. While still remiaing publicly funded an local, and aspiring to his Ted Wish. To inspire others with their own stories and lead children to love learning.
