How it works
Teachers use TED-Ed lessons to start a class discussion, introduce a topic, or set homework. The TED-Ed platform lets teachers customise a lesson with their own questions and share it with students, who can answer and discuss online. The lessons are made by educators and animators working together, so the quality is consistently high.
TED-Ed is completely free to watch and use. It is best for teachers who want a short, beautiful video to make a lesson memorable, and for learners who enjoy exploring ideas in five-minute bursts.
