TED-Ed’s commitment to creating lessons worth sharing is an extension of TED’s mission of spreading great ideas. Within the growing TED-Ed video library, you will find carefully curated educational videos, many of which represent collaborations between talented educators and animators nominated through the TED-Ed platform. This platform also allows users to take any useful educational video, not just TED’s, and easily create a customized lesson around the video. Users can distribute the lessons, publicly or privately, and track their impact on the world, a class, or an individual student. Visit ed.ted.com
Mathaliciousprovides teachers with lessons that help them teach math in a way that engages their students-in a way that helps students understand how the world works. This site is created for an American audience which means you’ll have to sift through the content that is not metric however it’s a great inspiration for ‘spicing’ up your math teaching. It contains some great ideas and wonderful interactive content and media to stimulate your classroom instruction and increase student achievement. This is a pay site but the cost is very reasonable.
