Hi Alistair,

Really great post! I always like to use Ted Talks as they follow so many multimedia principles that support learning! I would have like to see the video embedded as it would have been easier to access. However through your reference list I still managed to watch and listen to the Ted Talk on Happiness! I value the importance of recognizing the students needs related to feelings and how you address an activity that allows the students to reflect on feelings. Sometimes I think feelings can be easily missed, and recognizing and providing time to think about them is thus essential! At the end of your blog post you also address the closing statement of the video, I know it is a broad statement however I personally think that having an open statement allows people to reflect.  By saying “the good life is built with good relationships”, this promotes reflection of what is “good” and how does this apply to my life. Also something I value in relation to inclusive education is the video allows learners to listen, watch as well as read (closed captions) depending on their needs and learning styles.
