2. Mitch Resnick
serves as the head of the
Media Arts and Sciences
academic program at the
MIT Media Lab
3. His Talk, titled “Let’s Teach Kids to Code”, Mitch explains that
kids today are familiar with the interactivity of technology,
but not fluent in creating these technologies!
4. Thesis: help young people become fluent, so
They can write and be creative and express
themselves with these technologies using coding
6. Mitch kept the audiences attention
with an interactive game built by
code using their voices and
participation
7. Mitch has obeyed all TED
Commandments
His passion and
curiosity has lead
him to create fun
filled learning
programs that
teach kids to code
8. Mitch produced some laughs,
but could have exercised
commandment VIII a little more, adding
more humorous stories in his speech
9. Dynamism 3.8/5
Mitch is very passionate about his
main topic, he is highly educated in
his field and he is able to articulate
his findings very fluently. Although
he is a leader in his field I felt that
Mitch could of brought more humor
in his presentation, at times his
delivery felt dry.
10. Mitch followed Nancy Duarte’s rule 2 by
spreading his ideas of what he was
passionate about and moved the audience
using is interactive presentation
11. He also followed Garr Reynold’s principle of restraint by
identifying what is important and communicating that
to the audience.
12. Even though you have an important topic or
idea you may want to spread, getting your
audience engaged interactively is key to
getting your message across
13. Mitch and Ken are very similar in how
passionate they are about their topics and
how they relay that passion as data to
their audience
14. One key way these two speaker’s are
different, is that Ken Robinson
incorporates a lot of humor and witty
banter in his presentations
15. Tips for my classmates:
Laughter is the best
medicine
