The expression relates to the contents enlisted in the canvas that implies that learners must ascertain specific goals from education.

After listening to the contents for at least 10 minutes, one gains the idea that all participants are concerned about the experience of teachers in dealing with learners and the changes in the learning environment. The communicators are cognizant of the subject for discussion based on the expression. Their participation fulfils the objective of the podcast of addressing the uncertainties of the education of the future. The objective of the presentation in the Ted radio hour is making education serve more than academic purposes. The explanation that teachers will play an immense role in the future of society suggests that education will influence the outlook of the globe for decades (Manoush). The conversation that ends with the conversation on the need to teach human competencies before introduction of teacher Liz makes the contents fascinating. The podcasts mention numerous respondents to the interview before explicating the view of the communicators and their meaning. As a result, the review of the production is essential in understanding the role of effective communication in determining human response to learning.
The likeable thing about the podcast is that it addresses a subject by allowing participants to present divergent view on the subject. The communicators use a simplified language despite addressing a topic related to virtual learning that demands the utilization of jargon of the profession. The shortcoming of the presentation is that the narrator focuses on topics such as conversation on race affecting young learners, yet the group is less concerned with identity issues. The approach to engagement overlooks differences in identity in the introduction since a listener cannot preempt the identity of the speaker. Moreover, one of the speakers talk fast and such risks affecting the comprehension of the meaning of the podcast. Nonetheless, the podcast manages to stick to the theme of presentation on the educational role in the lives of learners. The communication is direct, and the participants manage to express self with decorum. Moreover, they explain the objective of the process at the initial stages of their introduction.
