TEDtalks equal engagement

TEDtalks are a way to help students stay continually engaged in the material that they are learning. TEDtalk videos help to offer students a mix in their routine learning styles helping capture more student’s engagement on the material. Now while it may seem that TEDtalks are just another form of lecturing where the students sit and listen with little engagement with the actual material, this change in a speaker can help the students engage more because they can be “entranced” by the change in pace. The speakers on TEDtalks can also offer another view from that of the teacher on the material being studied by the students. This not only gives the students another chance to engage and learn new information but to also get a well-rounded view on the material being studied in the classroom. TEDtalks overall help to not only give students more ways to connect with their material but to also learn and expand their views and positions in the world. TEDtalks definitely are not the new way of learning but they offer a great supplement to the ever-changing world of education. TEDtalks change the style of learning in the classroom rather than having students read out of a typical textbook and complete generic questions to understand the material. Engagement is important to help make sure that students can fully grasp the concepts trying to be taught and to also increase the likelihood that the students retain the material covered. TEDtalks help improve this necessary engagement by offering a change of pace for the students. This why TEDtalks are such a good supplement because they help increase the ways that students can learn and intake new information considering that not every child learns the same way. With the advances in technology in today’s modern age students should be offered every bit improvement in the ways that material is taught in the classroom. TEDtalks help educators further improve upon their lessons by offering additional insights offered by speakers. In all TEDtalks are an important learning material that helps students further learn material in a different way by offering ways to expand their mind. Engagement with TEDtalks further help students change their normal routine and change the pace which is important when learning by keeping them interested in further learning. TEDtalks have a large variety of videos on different topics which makes it very diverse if you want to expand your horizon. Here is a couple of different ways to use TEDtalks in the classroom.
