Featured Online Resource - TED-Ed: Lessons Worth Sharing

This week’s Featured Online Resource is TED-Ed: Lessons Worth Sharing (http://ed.ted.com/). TED-Ed Lessons are video lessons that have been created in collaboration with educators, screenwriters, and animators. They cover a range of topics and usually are less than 5 minutes long. Additionally, anyone can create their own lesson using TED Talks or YouTube videos. The site walks users through creating their own lessons.

 

Each lesson contains:

• Video
• Multiple choice and open answer questions
• Option to learn more about the concept 
• Discussion Questions

 An example is the Law of Conservation of Mass: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-law-of-conservation-of-mass-todd-ramsey
