Learning with TED - Ideas Worth Spreading Agenda
TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, & Design -- three broad subject areas that are, collectively, shaping our future. TED talks are riveting talks by remarkable people and are free to the world. In classrooms, TED talks add inspiring introductions to core curriculum topics and bring traditional lessons to life. Teachers can utilize TED.ED resources for flipping video use in their classroom, browse playlists of already curated collections, and use talk “tags” to easily find resources to enhance student learning, and explore mobile app alternatives.
