TED -ED - Lessons worth Sharing

Last month TED(Technology,Entertainment,Design), the nonprofit organisation devoted to "Ideas worth Spreading" launched its TED-ed "Lessons worth Sharing" Youtube channel that contains short,animated videos for teachers and students.TED -Ed's mission is to
 "capture and amplify the voices of great educators around the world"
Each video comes accompanied with supplementary materials that include quiz questions,open answer questions and links to more information on the topic.
TED -Ed launched another exciting initiative this week that allows teachers to create customised or "flipped" lessons based on any TED -ED video or any video on Youtube for that matter.The creator of these lessons can then distribute them to their classes or offer them up for wider distribution so that others can make use of them.Not unlike how Scootle allows you to customise lessons and share them.TED's curator, Chris Anderson, states that it is not their intention to build an exhaustive video database like the Khan Academy but to harness the talent of the best teachers around the globe by giving them tools that spark and faciltate learning.
