Community Review for TED-Ed
My Take
I like that the videos are short and relevant, and the lessons are customizable. These are very helpful for homebound students. The videos can be stopped and restarted as needed.
How I Use It
ed.ted.com is used to supplement lessons. The site has four sections; "watch," "think," "dig deeper," and "discuss." Students watch a very short video, then answer a quiz. They may do some research or join in a discussion using the last two tabs. It helps if students have access to Youtube, however, this can be shown to the entire class, and the quizzes printed out.
Students can also use this site in a blended or flipped classroom.

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!
