Joe Ruhl TED Talk Reflection

03 November 2020

The final “c” Ruhl mentioned during his presentation was creativity. Creativity is the

most important component of the human mind, teaching and learning. I think this is because

being creative is how to keep everyone’s minds fresh and attentive, including the teacher’s.

Adding new components to a classroom or lesson provides new stimuli and lets the brain

continue to think.

My biggest takeaway from this presentation was the “Teacher Paradox”. Ruhl described

the teacher paradox as removing yourself, the teacher, from the center of the classroom. I felt this

was very important because it allows the classroom to become a student focused environment. I

felt this created a new perspective to consider when creating lesson plans and teaching activities.

Allowing students to have more choice in students’ education promotes creativity, which directly

correlates to an increase in actual learning.
