Introduction
All the videos reflected in the following essay are full of accurate and original thoughts of brilliant people. TED Talks is a great project and I strongly believe that future of education and online learning belongs to it. Though all the videos have been picked by chance almost all of them happened to be somehow connected to the different view and concept of originality. Speaking differently it may be said that some of the videos are concentrated on presenting things in different light and from different perspectives for the matter of better understanding of this things.
“Don’t Eat the Marshmallow!” by Joachim de Posada
This video tells about psychological perspective and a behavioral principles concerning selling,

I had the very same problem with my shoes. My mother told me that I used the wrong kind of a knot. This is the thing that salesman at the shop told Terry. There are two kinds of knots. One is weak and the other one is strong. The most usual and average knot is the first one however from time to time I see and meet people who use the right kind of a knot. You can see it on the video or Google it but I’ll say that the advantages of another knot are that it unties not so often (almost never) and it looks better. I think that this example is a brilliant situation that shows how even small things in our life can become developed for the better if the perspective is changed. How many different things in our life are uncomfortable but we don’t think about them so because we are used to it? Not noticing the problem doesn’t mean that there isn’t any problem. The perspective decides everything and sometimes even the laces on our shoes can become a problem the solution to which will depend on this significant skill of seeing the issue in other light.
“Weird or Just Different?” by Derek Sivers
Another interesting video about the matter of perspective. If anything is true it doesn’t necessarily means that the opposite is false. Some ideas can go at odds with other ideas but all of them can be applicable to the different environment with
Minds on Edge was a very realistic video, which actually happens in society today. The program Fred Friendly Seminar starts with two different scenarios of a young female college student and an older guy who is either developing or has a mental illness.
Quick! Look at your shoes. If your shoes have laces, they might be tied wrong. In fact, about 50% of Americans tie their shoes the wrong way, that is, they use the wrong knot when tying their shoes. If your laces come undone, or your bows are twisted, or you double knot your shoes to prevent them from coming untied, then chances are, you tie your shoes the wrong way.
this video has impacted me and what I will take away from this video. Also, what will be
According to Lyttle (2015), an artist gave the inmates inside jail an online course in Norfolk City Jail with TED talk in order to inspire them to live a better life. This artist expects that inmates inside jail can acquire knowledge as well. As a kind of open online courses, TED talk is famous and popular. Mbuva (2014) states that online education is a distance education, which depends on internet technology to realize teaching and spreading knowledge. In this paper, online refers to not only open online courses, such as massive open online course (MOOCS), but also refer to online courses provided by traditional colleges for their registered students. Enter the twenty-first century, most aspects of society have been impacted profoundly by
I will definitely take this TedTalk into consideration when presenting to the class. Using her point of reputation, I will try to present my idea in
There is definitely a lot to be taken away by this great video. It was very informing and inspiring to see this. I loved how he explained how he indirectly and directly accomplished all of his dreams, no matter how small or childish. Another aspect that I enjoyed was his use of walls and blocks in life, and how it leads to something better.
I viewed this particular video in my Developmental Psychology class last semester. What an amazing
Stanford conducted the Marshmallow Experiment in the 1960s and the 1970s. This study was meant to find out if children have the ability to delay gratification so the used kids ages four through six in their study. The kids were led into a empty room and was offered a marshmallow. The kids were then told that if they can wait 15 minutes before eating the marshmallow that they could have another marshmallow. There was 600 kids that was in this experiment and some ate the marshmallow instantly while others looked away to be able to wait long enough. Later in 1988 a follow up study showed that the kids that could delay gratification were more successful after 10 years that the kids that could not delay gratification.

After opening the Ted.com website, trying to make the decision on which topic to choose was difficult. Coming across the video by BJ Miller was uplifting and felt like the best choice. The argument follows a claim of cause with an ethical argument. This talk is about what happened to the person telling the story and his realization about rethinking how death should be dealt with. Miller (2015) said in his podcast "Nowhere are the effects of bad design more heartbreaking or the opportunity for good design more compelling then at the end of life, where things are so distilled and concentrated. There are no do-overs".
According to the TED talk website, TED is “a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world.” TED talks can be used for informative and educational purposes. Authors, educators, and other professionals are given the opportunity to present their projects to an audience of like-minded peers. The purpose of these talks is to help share ideas in communities around the world. TED states on their website, “We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world.” The “TED Talk” videos produced by the website provide a quick way to spread a message to potentially millions of viewers across the globe. In order to be successful, a speaker must
Perspective, is not something that you spontaneously possess, it is something that individuals mold throughout their lifetime. It is constructed upon experiences and built on the foundation of knowledge that parents have laid on a person.
With high speed internet available to potential students of all economic levels, schools are opting to implement online classes into their traditional teaching curriculum. As a result, our society is divided in two different ways of thinking on the education. Some believe the modern method is better than the traditional method of teaching. Personally, I believe both methods should balance one another instead of attempting to substitute one another; this way their purpose of educating will be far more successful.
Education has undergone significant changes because of the development of information and communication technology over the 21st century (Lin & Jou, 2012:2). As a convenient and inexpensive way to gain knowledge while pursuing higher education, online learning, a form of training or teaching that takes place over the Internet, has been considered as an alternative to traditional classroom learning (Zhang et al, 2004). This essay will argue that even though online learning has benefit such as flexibility which could outweigh traditional learning, traditional classroom learning might still not be entirely replaced. This essay will discuss positive and negative aspects of online and traditional learning in terms of four criteria:
