What do you take away from this video?
The speaker talks about allowing the robot to have emphany. I don't like this video because I think that he is sucessing way too fast and thinking that robots are almost able to have as much emphanty and as much human emotions as any human. These robots also remember who people are in the perception of people and the natural emotions that allow humans to interact with each other. They also sell these robots to kids in animated forms. This matters because it's a very scary fact and I take away that the world is moving way too fast.
What are the speaker's presentation styles?
The speaker's presentation styles include being very monotone and moving around a lot which makes it hard to focus on the topic he is talking about.
What are the speaker's effective speaking techniques?
The speaker's effective speaking techniques are his ability to inspire the audience on his life's work b y being excited about his work, however the monotone voice is never completely exciting.
What matters from this video (Personal, Education, World)?
Many things matter from this video. Personally I think that the world and these robots are moving way to fast, when at this point they are able to create robots that "think they are human" and can interact with humans the way thatr humans interact with each other. It's very scary to the world and education because we never know what will happen in the future; In twenty or so years will the technology be so advanced that we won't know whether or not we are talking to a robot or a person?

#7: Aimee Mullens and her 12 pairs of legs
1. What are your take aways from this video?
This video has many very inspiration things to take away from when watching it. One very important one is Mullen's idea of beauty. In our society beauty is overdone and overworked from shows like America's Next Top Model. However, Mullen's idea of beauty is the potential inside of us. She was born without legs, and has set her life on making many different types of prosthetic legs for people like her. She said in her video, "It's not about overcoming a disability, it's making a conversation about potential." She is very inspirational because with her "12 pairs of legs" she is able to model, to be an athlete, and to do virtually anything that a person with legs could do. I take away from this video that beauty is not about creating an image that is all too stereotyped, but instead creating your image out of the potential you know you have.
2. What are the speakers effective speaking techniques?
The speaker got very emotional in her speech, and she was very connecting with the audience. She showed a few pairs of legs that she had and it allowed the audience to see what she was taqlking about.
3. What is his/her presentation style?
Her presentation style was emotional and she had material objects to show the audience as well as many powerpoint images.
4. What matters from this video? How does it connect to your personally? To education? To the world?
This video has a huge concept that is very important to understand; beauty. Mullens talks about her experience with beauty, and her definition connects to me personally when she says that "It's our humanity and all the potential in us that makes us beautiful". She tells us that she, with her legs, has five different height options. She connects with the world by trying to show them insight that her beauty may not be what is on television, but it's the one inside her that created the legs for her and other people like her to create their own beauty. It connects to education in a sense that we may not be being taught the definitions of the subjects that are most alive in our world today, like beauty. This is a very inspiration video that showed that disabilities are not something to "overcome" but something to embrace and make your own.

#6: Dave Egger's
Dave Egger's: Once upon a school
1. What are your take aways from this video?
I take away that in order for students to get the full experience on teaching they need one on one experience with teachers; however this is difficult because there is not enough time or teachers. It also showed me that there are many steps in acheving a certain goal. It also shows that an outside audience leads to greater work because people know that they are being heard. The one on one technique is very effective and extremely important. It allows people to directly engage with the future generation and the technique to be passed on for ages.
2. What are the speakers effective speaking techniques?
He allows the audience to be comfortable with him by making jokes and telling them he is nervous. He also breathes really quickly so you can tell that he is nervous and also says "um.." more than a few times.
3. What is his/her presentation style?
His presentation style is very creative in powerpoint slides and very inspirational with quotes and experiences with how his experience started and how it changed so many student's lives, allowing the audience to be inspired.
4. What matters from this video? How does it connect to your personally? To education? To the world?
This video has an imporant message in which the importance of a community gathering as a whole to help the next generation; in this video it would be tourting kids for free. To the world it matters as a domino effect; a happy student means a happy family, a happy family makes a happy community, a happy community makes a happy city, and those all make a happy city. It shows education that one on one time is very, very important in order to elp the greater whole. To me personally it matters because i enjoy personal help because it helps me understand the concept. This is a large concept to understand in order for education to be sucessful, even if you need to start with a pirate store.
