TED-Ed

Many teachers use TED videos with their classes. TED has now jumped into the "flipped lesson" model with TED-Ed. Essentially, TED-Ed takes pre-existing TED videos and creates "lessons" that include a quick quiz for understanding, free response questions, and links to extend the learning. You can even customize the lessons or build your own based on any video on YouTube.

There are some criticisms and cautions about the flipped classroom model, but used as a supplement, TED-Ed could be a powerful tool in your class. If anyone tries a lesson, please share your thoughts here.
