TED Ed is free a web 2.0 tool that teachers can use to build and create lessons. The hope is that students can be taught a variety of subjects, and the teacher can expand upon the knowledge by incorporating a TED video into the customized lesson. The goal of TED Ed is primarily that teachers and animators will create these educational collaborations and share them with other educators.
The site is broken up into individual lessons, so it makes it easy to navigate. Both students and teachers can choose a video to watch, to make learning more interesting. TED Ed is a great tool for those who are visual learners, as lessons can be created beside a video. This may help reduce barriers by allowing for visual interaction, instead of direct lecture instruction.
Anyone 13 or older can sign up and use TED Ed!
