Fantastic resource for animated and live "talks" on very modern subjects.

Community Review for TED-Ed
My Take
I find the TED ED lessons to be well thought out, relevant and useful in a modern 21st century classroom. The short duration of the lesson does not detract from "depth of knowledge". I can use this tool as the meat of my lesson or as an extension activity. As with the full blown TED Talks, students go from one lesson to the next to the next. Like potato chips, you can't stop at just one.
How I Use It
My favorite use is to incorporate Ted Ed talks into the flipped classroom model. Students can watch short videos alone or in small groups and then the class can come together to discuss. I appreciate the high level of discourse, the sophisticated vocabulary used while keeping the subject entertaining.

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!
