I chose to watch and evaluate Jane McGonigal’s : Gaming can make a better world. Jane has worked for the gaming industry to over 10 years developing new ideas and way to get kids more involved in gaming. This topic was one that struck home because I myself love to play video games and I also live within a household that is very involved in playing video games as well.

Great question this game helped with that because it distracted them from the fact that they were starving so they would eat one day and the play a game of dice the next. This helped them survive for 18 years. Until they decided that this wasn’t enough they wanted to not only be surviving but thriving and really making a place for them within the world.

So as you can see Jane McGonigal used a lot of different techniques within her speech. But over all I think that they worked and she did a fantastic job keeping the audiences attention and making sure that they wouldn’t forget her speech within just a couple minuets. She was a great example of how we should create a speech if we want it to be a successful
