After watching Ken Robinson's TED Talk about education, express your thoughts on how his views do/do not relate to the concept of Genius Hour. What about Ken Robinson's views do you agree/disagree with? Also, consider HOW Ken Robinson presented his TED Talk. What can you learn from his delivery, organization, and content to help you present your OWN TED Talk? From what was expressed on the video, I believe that Ken Robinson’s TED Talk about education relates to Genius Hour strongly. He feels children should stop be taught in the traditional sense of education and be able to learn differently. This is just like Genius Hour where the students have a chance to learn on their own without the teacher having a curriculum. Also, Robinson feels that students will flourish because of their natural curiosity and diversity which Genius Hour is all about.
Ken Robinson had many different views on how school systems should be run and how students should learn. With every point he made, I agree with every single one of his views. I agree with the fact that the schools should have the power to set the standards that they need to learn instead of legislative deciding what is best. I also agree with schools should not have their sole focus on standardized testing, but instead have it on having students learn. Even before he began the main part of his talk, Ken Robinson engaged his readers by making a few jokes. Also, all throughout his talk he would slip in a few jokes here and there to continually grab listeners attention and to help illustrate his points. The way he organized and presented his content was in a way that made many people want to hear and learn about. Everything he did will help me when I must present my own TED Talk. I can do this by organizing my thoughts in an order that causes people to want to listen to hear the next bit and engage my listeners more. Also, he helped me to come up with a way to make the content of my project into something anyone would want to hear about.
