#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.
