My Take
TED is a lecture series of some of the greatest minds in a wide variety of different fields. The TED talks cover subjects from Physics to Third World Poverty. However, they are not too lofty to be out of touch with the average student.
How I Use It
I use TED to start a unit or inspire a class discussion . They are generally under 25 minutes and can viewed for free on YouTube. Sometimes we watch them in class and sometimes I assign them to be viewed as homework along with a written summary. Students bring in the homework summary and we begin our less with some sharing.

Interactive Content!
TED-Ed is a great way to take sometimes-boring subjects and transform them into engaging content by using videos. I have watched many ted talks throughout my educational career and always found them entertaining. This website is easy to navigate and you are able to filter to find the content you want. You can even filter by age, content type, subtitles, and more. The only downside is that there are some non-educational videos so it is easy to get distracted. I would recommend using it in classrooms if the teacher is displaying the video to the students so it avoids any distractions!
