For some time now, teachers have understood the value of using TED videos in their classroom.  When used well, they can enhance many lessons.  Additionally, they can serve as a springboard to many rich discussions on a wide variety of topics like whether the egg or chicken came first.  Somewhat less known is TED-ED and TED-ED Lessons.   The once disparate collection of interesting videos has been organized into a tidy package for teachers to use in their classrooms.  Additionally, lessons have been created for the videos.  In addition to the ready-made lessons, teachers can create their own lessons using an almost endless database of educational videos.  When planning a lesson or reflecting on ways to improve one previously taught, consider using this great resource as a supplement to your lesson.
