My take aways from this video is that it is not where you are from it is where you are going. Your life path is not based on where you are from; it is based on where you are going and he decisions you make. You cannot become a victim of your situation. If you want to do it, you will find a way to do it. Life comes down to decisions and sometimes your decisions can impact the lives of others. The speakers effective speaking techniques is that he talks and projects so that the whole room can hear him. Robbins also has a certain liveliness to the way he talks. He is confident in his topic and you can tell that his topic really matters to him. His presentation style is that he uses humor and slides to get his point across. Robbins also gets the audience involved by asking them questions and gives them clarity and meaning behind their response.
What matters in this video, as it relates to me, is that my decisions can impact, not only myself, but the people around me. It is not where I am coming from it is where I am going. I cannot let my situation or stuff I can't control bring me down, if I love and want to achieve it I will find a way. What matters in this video, as it relates to education, is that if you want to get an "A", you got to work hard for it. You cannot make excuses when you get a bad grade because if you truly want it you can get it. What matters in this video, as it relates to the world, is that our path isn't set in stone. Where we come from doesn't have to effect us. It is the path in front of us not the path behind us that matters.

Dave Eggers-Blog7
My take-aways from this video is that students need more one on one help. Dave is encouraging one on one help with students. Another take-away is that if you give students the help they need, they will exceed expectations. My final take-away is that education, when made fun, can make a great impact on kids. We stereotype education to be boring, but it can be fun if the teachers make it fun. When something is fun, it has a greater impact on people.We remember something because it is fun not, because it is boring. Having something be fun adds another dimension to learning. It make it more enjoyable. The speaker's effective speaking techniques are that he is humorous and is light in his attitude, despite his topic being very serious. His presentation style his that he goes from funny to serious and back to funny. He is not overly serious all the time and he is not overly funny all the time. He uses slides and anecdotes to illustrate his point then, really drives his point home in the end.
What matters in this video, as it relates to me, is that it wouldn't kill me to go see a teacher even if I already have mastered the topic. I may learn something new and develop a solid relationship with my teacher; so that when I need help I won't be afraid to ask. What matters in this video, as it relates to education, is that students need one on one help to be successful. They also need an element of fun to learn better. We remember the fun stuff in our lives easier than, just boring note taking. What matters in this video, as it relates to the world, is that education can vastly be improved with a little fun and one on one time. It is surprising how much better a kid can learn with a little fun and one on one time. We need an element of fun in our lives. Having fun is what keeps us sane.

David Blaine-Blog6
My take-aways from this video is that you have to challenge yourself. Blaine is using his personal experiences to teach people that you can set goals just to break them; challenge yourself and you will be surprised what you can do. It pays off to practice and to train in the end. The speakers effective speaking techniques is that he speaks slowly and enunciates his words. Blaine utilizes sarcasm and his dry sense of humor to keep the audience laughing and to keep the room light; as his topic is very heavy and serious. The speaker's presentation style is that he uses video clips and photos in his presentation. His gives the audience a visual so that they have a visual in their head and keeps them attentive. Blaine also uses stories to present his topic in a way that is not solely based on stats.
What matters in this video, as it relates to me, is that I should set goals for myself just to break them. If I set goals just to break them, I will preform better and push myself harder; whether in school or on the diamond. What matters in this video, as it relates to education, is that students do not need to be motivated by money or other incentives. They need to be motivated by beating themselves. Blaine is saying that when we go up against ourselves we tend to do better and work harder. What matters in this video, as it relates to the world, is that no matter what your profession you must be motivated, not by money, but by beating yourself. Set goals just for the sake of beating them.

John Wooden-Blog5
My takeaways from this video is that success is not solely rooted in winning and losing. Success is building for tomorrow and putting your best foot forward. Wooden is urging the audience that everyday you are back at square one; it doesn't matter where you have been or where you are going, we are all the same at the begining of the day. The speaker's effective speaking techniques are that he speaks slowly and clearly. He enunciates clearly and speaks in a logical fashion. Wooden's speaking path is clear. Wooden presentation style is that he uses quotes and excerpts from poetry to convey his lesson to the audience. Wooden also utilizes anecdotes and real life examples to get his point across.
What matters in this video, as it relates to me, is that everyday I have to go out and prove myself again. I have to understand that success is not just an "A" or a hit ,but something that builds towards that. I need to adopt an attitude that nothing will be given to me, I have to earn it. What matters ,as it relates to education, is that teachers need to encourage students to be the best that they can be. Teachers are the foundation of a students success. What matters, as it relates to the world, is that success is not in winning or in losing. You can still win and lose by a ton, yet you can also still lose and win by a ton. Success is measured in how far you have come.

Clay Shirky-Blog4
My take aways from this video are that people like to create and share what they have done. In a world of abundance and surplus there will always be unnecessary things out there. The people who use their free time,cognitive surplus, to benefit society should be rewarded. These people are using their intrinsic motivation and free time to add civic value to society. The speaker's effective speaking techniques are that he enunciates his words and and has a very logical approach to what he is talking about. His speech, logically, made sense. His presentation style is that he uses real life examples to illustrate his point. He uses his slides effectively and logically. He also incorporates studies and facts t prove the point he is trying to present.
What matters to me in this video is that when you have free time use it wisely and use it benefit society. Don't just sit around and do nothing all day, do something because you are motivated to do it. It is these self-motivated people that are rewarded in the long run. This matters, in the world of education, in that it stresses us to use our time wisely and to be self-motivated to do stuff. We can create amazing things in our cognitive surplus time. This matters, as it relates to the world, is that create something useful. Don't create something communal or useless, create something civic that will benefit society. In a world of abundance, where everything is shared and posted, create something beneficial and share that. Post with meaning.

Daniel Pink-Blog3
My take aways from this video is that to get better performance from workers we need them to make an emotional connection with the work they do. The motivation that matters is intrinsic motivation (a kind of motivation that the only incentive is a sense of accomplishment and the title of having done it). I also took away that if you do something just to say you have done, you accomplish more. The speakers effective speaking technique is anecdotes. He also uses a different platform for telling what matters to him; that is the platform of a lawyer presenting a case to a jury. This changes everything up and keeps the audience from going to sleep from the same old TED talks. His presentation style is that he uses statistics and case studies to present his case to the audience. This is important because it validates what he is saying and confirms any doubts the audience might have.
What matters in this video, as it relates to me, is that it is important to motivate yourself intrinsically. Your mind is clouded when you are given an external incentive and therefore your ability to do work is clouded. What matters, as it relates to education it is screaming for a reform in the way students do work. Pink is trying to tell us that if can find a motivation within ourselves, we can do anything. What matters, as it relates to the world, is that the old method of work for money is outdated and virtually useless. We achieve more as a society when we do something that we want to do; we achieve more when we motivate ourselves.

J.J. Abrams-Blog2
My take aways from this video are that life is one big mystery box and we are surrounded by mystery boxes everyday; also that it in this day and age you can pretty much do anything you want to do. J.J.'s effective speaking techniques are that he jokes around; this allows for the audience to stay involved and to pay attention. He also uses a lot of anecdotes and stories to get his point across; this allows him to keep his speech fresh with new ways to get his point across to the audience. His presentation style is that he incorporates video clips into the presentation; to keep his audience attentive. He also uses props as an other method to get his point across to the audience.
In this video what matters to me is the overall message of the presentation. That message is that life is full of mystery boxes just waiting to be opened and solved. Abrams also wants us to see that it is the emotion of the mysteries that keeps us involved, not the action and romance; although that is cool too. This connects to education in that it shows that we, as students, must be emotionally invested in what we do. This is how we develop that love for a subject. It is our very own mystery box. On the world-wide scale this connects in that there are mystery boxes everywhere just waiting to be solved. Life is one big mystery box.
