What is TED Ed?
Simply put TED Ed is a new platform through which teachers can build short lessons around short videos that have been given the TED stamp of approval.
It's an excellent tool for flipping your classroom. I'm planning to use lessons others have created, use youtube videos to create my own customised lessons and create at least one video that I will use TED-Ed to make a lesson aound it.
Directly from the TED-Ed Website:
"TED-Ed is a free educational website for teachers and learners. We are a global and interdisciplinary initiative with a commitment to creating lessons worth sharing. Our approach to education is an extension of TED’s mission of spreading great ideas.
Within the growing TED-Ed video library, you will find carefully curated educational videos, many of which represent collaborations between talented educators and animators nominated through the TED-Ed platform. This platform also allows users to take any useful educational video, not just TED's, and easily create a customized lesson around the video. Users can distribute the lessons, publicly or privately, and track their impact on the world, a class, or an individual student."
