TED talk ideas.... still working on them.
- Hockey, Its been my life growing up. Not quite sure what specifically I would talk about with it but you could talk about anything with a sport.
-Interning, I want to be a physical education teacher when I grow up so I could talk about the importance of physical education in a school system.
-Being a leader, and what it means to be looked up to and looked to always do the right thing. The pressure and stress of it and how it makes you a better person.
I'm still working on finding the right one. but let me know what you like or don't like or if my ideas give you a different view point you think I could go at.
Thanks.
-The difference between a team sport and an individual sport. Having played both there are lots of difference and advantages and dis-advantages.
-I also thought about talking about the difference in society even with kids now versus when I, or any of my other classmates were children or even before that. How important technology is to kids now and how its going to effect them in the future.
I like your second idea about interning. I like more of a narrative perspective and hearing like personal stories rather than an argumentative piece ect. I would enjoy hearing about your experiences with your interning and you talked about how you may want to pursue something in physical education and that sounds interesting as well. Although the hockey one sounds like it could be a good narrative piece as well. I was thinking of doing something similar with volleyball and my personal experiences and journey I had through my high school career so I like that one as well.
ReplyDeleteHave a good rest of your weekend:)
The United States is so weird with education. Every year it's some new fad in the news. Charter schools are huge right now, despite statistical evidence against them. Anyway, my point is that physical education and art are ALWAYS cut. How does this damage a student? That's the one that really responds to me. You could so easily blend your personal goals and your own personal commitment to team activities, sports, and physical fitness...then go into the national consciousness. Does our society share these goals? The claim is yes - so how are we as a people not following through with these goals?
ReplyDeleteI like your idea on what it is like being a leader. You could make it into a narrative and explain the ways in which you have been a leader and then from there you could go into how being a leader has impacted your life and how it has shaped you as a person. You could tie that in to your topic of hockey since you were a leader of the hockey team!
ReplyDeleteYour topic of interning would also be interesting. You could make that into a narrative as well, telling a story of your experience as an intern in a gym class and you could say how that has impacted your decision of being a physical education teacher in the future.
For your topic on the rise of technology, you could compare and contrast the life of teenagers then with the life of teenagers now and how technology has made our lives different than the teenagers who never had cell phones, social media, etc.
I think any of these topics would be interesting to hear about!
