Right at the beginning of the TED talk, I notice that Robinson kind of starts out with humor, the audience is laughing and he's starting small talk with them and cracking jokes. Robinson mentions that he's always been curious and interested in creativity and education. It is obvious that he is passionate about this topic and finds it fascinating. He mentions that children always start out creative and full of wonder, however education tends to wipe them clean. He believes that we are educating our students to never leave room for mistakes, to be perfect which of course leaves no room for creativity. His solution for this issue was to encourage students to dance, experiment and make mistakes. It is important to make mistakes because we learn from them and it is important to be creative too. Overall, I think the most popular and great element in this TED talk was his humor and his personality, the way he communicated to the audience was very engaging because it was humorous and made the audience want to hear more.
