Dave Eggers - TED Talk #6

  This was a great idea to begin with. These tutoring institutions are fun for the children while also helping them  really focus on their learning. They can limit their distractions and get their work done quickly. They also can receive help on topics that they are having a hard time grasping. Dave spoke fairly well and described his points well. I felt he was unsure of what to say at some points which forced him to utter 'um' too many times. in his presentation, it was nice that he used a power point full of pictures to illustrate his tutoring facility to help the audience get to know his facility. The facility looked like it was a fun learning environments for all who used them. It was amazing to hear that the facility had 1,400 volunteers. It is great that that many people were willing to give up their time in order to aid others. If we could all get children into these facilities the results would amaze us. The increased use of these facilities would free up more time for everyone. Then we could use tat free time in a productive way. It impacts education and the world, because these facilities will increase the amount of information students could learn in the classroom because questions would be more limited.
