Genius Hour TedTalk

  1. Hi Melissa,

    I really loved your TedTalk! Not only is the content engaging, but you really went above and beyond with your edits and using a slideshow to help you get your point across. It felt as if I was watching an actual TedTalk because of your use of space. I felt that your TedTalk flowed really well and the focus was all on you! I also liked how you incorporated your own statistics into the slide to make it more personal. I loved how you mentioned that the recommended pace is discouraging because I feel that it helps the viewer realize that we cannot be the ideal human beings and achieve the 'recommended' pace easily. It all stems from the amount of work and effort you put into it and it's clear that you've put a lot of effort into your TedTalk!

    Great job!!

  2. Hey Ms. Mulhall,

    What am amazing TedTalk! I love how you stood in front of another screen to resemble a real TedTalk. Having that visual to support your speech is very beneficial for sharing your information. The use of statistics helps to make your points valid. While I don't know that I'll ever want to run a full marathon, your TedTalk and blog have definitely inspired me to take up running in a more serious manner, by setting personal and achievable goals. Thanks for all your amazing work here :)

You are very well spoken and it is obvious that you are passionate about your topic. Talking about your own personal experiences was a very nice touch. I can tell you put in a great deal of effort! Very well done.

  4. Hi Melissa,
    What a fantastic Ted Talk! I loved how engaging it was with pictures and your own personal stories! You have great ways to engage the viewers with statistics and your story about running. Overall, it's a great way for others to learn about how we can run and how we can get into the Boston Marathon. Great job overall!!

  5. WOW, this Ted Talk is amazing Melissa! I felt like I was at an actual Ted Talk experiencing you speak to an audience. I love how you used a TV to upload slides and statistics while you spoke, your talk flowed very well and was engaging throughout its entirety. Your discussion about motivation, and turning "can't" into "can" was a great way to hook the audience and make your topic relatable. Your passion and determination for running is very evident, and I think it's awesome that you chose to dedicate your Genius Hour to something you care so much for! I learned a lot about marathon running, and all the aspects of preparing for it through your talk...WOW that's a lot of work! If anyone can do the Boston Marathon, it's you! Just looking at your improvements over the last couple years is proof, and just like you mentioned in your talk, it's all about your mindset! I found it inspirational to hear about your dedication, improvements, and commitment to the sport, and I'm looking forward to hearing about your success in the future. Keep it up :)
