My Take
TED Ed is an invaluable asset to both teachers and students. Many of the speakers are young people who have literally changed the world somehow, and students need to see and hear that that is possible. When you couple this with the fact that the videos have lesson ideas corresponding with the content of the talk, the value of the site only goes up.
How I Use It
TED Ed is a great hook for lessons in ELA courses. Students often see speakers they've never seen and are introduced to ideas that are fresh, original, and inspiring. They serve as an excellent springboard for both writing and visual/speaking assignments.

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!
