TED continues its expansion into education the the launch of a brand-new TED-Ed website that includes tools to help teachers use video in the classroom. The new platform allows educators to customize videos with follow-up questions and assignments–an initiative that TED says could help power the flipped-learning model.
This second phase of TED-ED follows the launch of a YouTube channel for educational videos. With the new TED-Ed platform, users can take any useful educational video from TED-Ed or elsewhere and create a customized lesson around the video.
