Once upon a school
I thought that this Ted Talk was excellent but one that I couldn't connect with. He was passionate about his topic yet he was not a natural speaker. Being a student, the idea of a tutoring place with competent people helping you get school work done is very appealing. I was inspired by his passion for helping others.
It gave me ideas for my Ted Talk because I concluded after watching his presentation that being passionate about the subject matter is key to creating a good Ted Talk. Also, some of the flaws of his presentation made me appreciate what parts of presentation style are key to communicating a message to an audience.
I believe this related to AWNM because of how Dave Eggers was able to connect two seemingly unrelated things to make something brilliant! He recognized that students in city school weren't receiving enough one on one time with their instructors and found a solution. It was interesting to hear him walk through his progression of thoughts from the problem to the solution. I have often thought that increasing the amount of one on one time I spend with teachers would help my learning. Because I was partially home-schooled in middle school, I completely understand how hugely helpful one on one time is.
