[@user-ke4xq4fl6z]

You remind me a presenter who bragged about himself for a third of his time. But you have good ability to laugh together with audience, which I admire!

[@mangorwolkuol3465]

Congrats professor for making great impact around the world.the legacy is about whom have you serve or change .

[@juanchosevastian]

[@44043495]

[@stephenjjeffery]

12:54 - Practical example of the talk. Most amount of content from this point 👍

[@andrewomo5429]

Prof, you spent approximately three hours introducing yourself; I had to move to another programme!

[@nabard1720]

andrew omo 😂😂😂

[@abuahmed9475]

thank you for your great efforts

[@suydorn8007]

Dr. John Zubizarreta , How can we do the activities in the classroom learning have effective ?please

[@logunv]

I watched this video two times. What is the message professor? Is it that higher education is important? I agree. Is it that engaged learning is useful or not useful? Is it that you are all doing some good work at the colleges and helping students? Do we really need a TEDx talk for that? I will be grateful if you can help me understand the key message in this talk.

[@shahinoorrashid7362]

The thing is here that when a person has an ambition and work hard then she/he can reach his/her destination. This is a key message in this talk.

[@theboard9959]

Misleading title... title should’ve been “professor bragging about his award”

[@jaegerzero9252]

It's all in the context for me. He used context about his experience on how education is an active process. It's not just about classroom techniques, it's also on creating an experience, which unfortunately people see it as boasting about his career.

[@amandatinnin5702]

Blown away at the negativity. Everyone's story is important.

[@jxtianmagnaye5588]

Amazing!! learned a lot again! 😀

[@basemkhourma5163]

Thank you very much

[@bloodybrutality]

I should have read the comments first.

[@maryanncarrlton6878]

Amen brother

[@user-sy7fj6vi3w]

thank u

[@junzonvelasco7890]

Start at 11:40

[@mainedesignmusic]

thank you, because when he actually got to it, it was very useful to me, but I almost missed it, about to turn it off until i saw your post!

[@n-silvabts9178]

What does this speech have to do with the title of this video?

[@Diasporaliving]

And he pronounced his own very Spanish last name in Polish.

[@richardfbarber1815]

There is a reason why China is one of the top in the world the education table. That reason is because those that enter the universities as tutors are Intellectuals and professors that feel a responsibility to their students and their academic furtherance as they go into society,By not corrupting their minds but allowing the young mind draw it's own conclusion from the world they live in. creating codes of conduct and respect for those around them. In a competitive country where education is the most certain key to being in the work force and innovation is paramount to your security and the lifestyle you wish to lead. This is what America seems to have lost over the years. A slap dash system in it's education program where by the illiteracy rate has be come higher than before in schools, collages and universities in the American inner cities. A lack of educators initiative to teach anything other than politics and hate. Intellectuals and professors teaching anarchy and hatered, people that have never had a life outside a class room. In fact the despondent intellectual unachiever, that have no interest in their students just an easy pay cheque. These people are paid by the state to teach and guide their students, so that they have a fair chance in life to compete in the work force and fore fill their aspirations and dreams. These are the type of people that should be removed from teaching by having a closer inspection on what they are teaching and how. Teacher can only teach if they have the enthusiasm in the subject that they teach. That in turn is picked up by the student. it's the teachers job to capture the imagination of the student, and the students interests and capitalize on that. The same as it is the job of the school, collage, Academy or university to accommodate the needs of the student. You are preparing the student for going out into society and the work force. Not a base ball game.

[@mainedesignmusic]

this is a great conversation

[@user-jm2ds5og6z]

i loved this video and learned a lot

[@pennyschwenki5240]

Your Awesome

[@ultimathule1000]

The criticism of education (including higher education) is obvious and needed. The single good cases do not change the whole picture, Even if somebody achieved 50 or 80, in better system this person could achieve 100 or 150. We do not claim that the current education system is worth ZERO. We claim, that this system do not help people enough. That's all ...

[@askimaskim3236]

Вы просто супер

[@ziyadalsarraf1980]

too much about you Mr. super Zubi

[@sulthanaharifa4942]

awesome... bang on

[@naomiwamalwa3434]

Whats the meaning of this ..

[@belpahardiaries3552]

I am bla bla bla.... I got this n that... the topic should be... I ME AND MYSELF.. !!!

[@alesboselli9525]

Too much about yourself...good for you!

[@isabellaireland1700]

It's all about i, me, myself, isn't it?

[@lauriec2031]

Wow. I honestly wasn't able to connect to this at all.

[@asiasportschannel7686]

you love yourself too much.

[@LeonardWaks]

worthless. sad. important topic and wasted opportunity.

[@desmondrose3805]

Sir you have totally forgot the topic. This presentation won't help in any way to inspire teachers to teach their students

[@WBLResources]

teaching DOES transform - I agree, let's not settle for the mediocre

[@lindahickling9862]

The Subject line needs a change, Professor!

[@hoatranringrose6145]

this post must be taken down

[@oscarorfiano5026]

Guys story is use to catch or hook audiences.

[@patrickmccartney2418]

I could not watch this. Shaky cam gets me nauseous. Please put the camera on a tripod. I hear they are not that expensive.

[@harpmaster480]

Too much bragging ; too much about yourself. I moved on about half way through.

[@cristinathelemaque8686]

Too bad you don't realize the importance of condensing the information to what is relevant to the title. 5 minutes in and it is still about you. No more.

[@Nab10200]

keep talking about your self dahh

[@fredschwentafsky2641]

prof of the year in the evil empire...

[@naomiwamalwa3434]

I and I

[@melihaevrenyesilot2953]

All the time about yourself? Damn it was terrible! I was all the time waiting for the real issues like active learning and education! Bleh!!!

[@deynerbricenoo]

almost half of the talk talking about yrourself and then the story was kind of meaningless.

[@tamargain7103]

I am not sure how talking about our own merits can inspire others.... you are utilizing this platform to boast, instead of to teach.

[@Lilythedogrocks]

Agree. Take it down

[@leanneharper100]

Professor Lockhart XD

[@danicoversongs]

having the word creative on the title would excite anyone doing researching on creative teaching... this presentation is not creative for me. I know he's much better than me and has accomplished a lot but the title is really deceiving.

[@ropermi]

What a boring speech. Get into the topic less talk about yourself

[@briangormley1972]

Oh, my this was terrible. Why is it still up?

[@ivanpb1983]

A man talking about himself -quality content. :/

[@frame9923]

Usually introductions are about 251 words, but boy, was this a long intro. What can I say, good for you, professor, but not everyone is as fortunate as you to go to college and grad school; the rest of those who can't afford it, or don't have an altruistic sponsor like you, what are they going to do? Surely, a society can't only be comprised of higher educated people. Why not respect those that want to learn a skill, and give them a chance to life as well? Plus, what about this nonsense the higher educated students do lately? How do they prove their intelligence and highly cultivated minds? The auto shop mechanic or the janitor can beat them anytime when it comes to common sense. It doesn't look very promising that they are learning anything useful in those school. A few persevere and succeed, but many do nothing more than becoming part of the elitist mediocrity. Where is the practicality in that, where is the advancement and the merit here, in the name of higher education? It's all about the paycheck at the end of the week.

[@sumerahamid3153]

frame

[@nickthenaturelover8968]

funny! sorry it's not matching with the title. This sir has spent lots of time to introduce himself only...

[@jacquesdezeure918]

Nick The Nature Lover my traveler

[@grittipornjinarach7990]

Is this all about bragging himself?

[@piechirst]

same mistakes with some called Dr haha

[@maxwellranasinghe6311]

I wonder how he became a best professor when he deviates totally from the topic given and brags about himself.

[@everlastingsounds539]

what an annoying guy.. too full of himself.

[@EzraLua]

Who did come because of The Mask character? 😅

[@beyondthehorizon904]

Sadly prof the talk was basically about yourself, only in the last three minutes, you demonstrate some creativity. Next time you don't just focus on the teachers, but tells what and how, they have done it

[@khaembapeter6641]

After reading some of the comments about this presentation by Prof., I lost interest

[@Boleh888]

The one and only the worst TED talk online I've watched. I give up, tq.

[@stanleymumba1332]

u talk too much

[@najibullahhasrat5771]

Just showing off nothing else to learn.

[@mondellletaylor]

oh man he's tooting his own horn a little too much! It honestly makes it uninteresting and boring he should humble up a little. #changingthe channel
