TED-Ed’s is an extension of TED’s mission of spreading great ideas by creating helpful animated lessons with questions on them. The library of  TED-Ed lessons is continuously growing. The lessons represent collaborations between talented educators and animators nominated through the TED-Ed platform.

This platform also allows users to take any useful educational video, not just TED’s, and easily create a customized lesson around the video. Users can then distribute TED-Ed lessons, publicly or privately, and track their impact on the world, a class, or an individual student. This platform is also the home to TED-Ed Clubs — an exciting new program that aims to stimulate and celebrate the best ideas of students around the world.

TED-Ed Lessons
There are two types of TED-Ed lessons. The first, TED-Ed’s award-winning original lessons, represent collaborations between expert educators, screenwriters and animators.  The second type of TED-Ed lesson can be created by any website visitor, and involves adding questions, discussion topics and other supplementary materials to any educational video on YouTube. Both types of TED-Ed lessons can be used in classrooms and homes to introduce new topics to learners and engage them in the educational process.It is really an important tool that helps educators find content for the lesson and help student understand and remember the information.
 Keep in mind that watching a video alone does not a lesson make. The resources provided are great, but to make the connections to our in-class work, we have to discuss and question what we watch.
