TED talk 6 Dave Eggers

Eggers's Ted talk showed students need to have one-on-one tutoring time at least an hour a week to improve their capabilities. He made a tutoring center and had volunteers come to the center to offer free tutoring one-on-one with students. The tutoring center he had set up was unlike a tutoring center for "those kids who need extra help". He creatively came up with a silly-themed shop with tutoring in the back. The school setting was eliminated and the environment was amusing. Students were actively engaged and actually wanted to learn. The students who repeatedly visited centers like these wanted to get their homework done. One student felt like getting his homework done and knowing the next day he would achieve made it like a good addiction. This whole organization was made to engage students to complete their homework and tasks and want to complete their homework and tasks.

The speaking techniques of Eggers include his various descriptions of all the comical tutoring centers. One for instance was a pirate shop and Eggers showed a slideshow of pictures and the environment of the shop that was surrounding the students  and created the want to be there feeling. 

Eggers's style seemed nervous, but, very prepared. He said "uh" numerous times; however, he definitely had prepared lots of information to talk about and show the positive outcome of these tutoring centers. His information was also about the tutoring centers' designs and what each one of them is like.

This video shows the importance of one-on-one creative tutoring set up in a positive environment for students. The students will excel and actually want to excel! I personally will seek more one-on-one help with my teachers now if I don't understand something. Once I learn how to accomplish the task, then, I will have that want to do the work well. Education can definitely be influenced by this Ted talk. Teachers need to actively engage their students and make learning and carrying out new ideas a good outlet for students. The entire world as a whole can benefit from this talk. More students who want to learn can become successful. These successes will benefit society and create a world that is more open to new things.
