TED Education

I'm sure most have you have seen at least one of the terrific videos put out by TED - "Riveting talks by remarkable people, free to the world". If not get there now and enjoy - www.ted.com

TED have now luanched TED-ED. The idea is to capture the best lessons from the best educators, record them and animate them.

You can submit lessons here - http://education.ted.com/

It's a cool idea, I don't know if the focus on delivering "lessons" is a bit limited, the same old model of content delivered from the front of the class. Where are the students in this?

But, it should lead to some cool bits of content about a whole range of stuff for educators to use. As we know, following passions and interests can lead anywhere, so the more varied materials available to use the better.
