Many teachers already make powerful use of TED Talks as an educational tool in their classrooms. TED's mission is to offer riveting talks, by riveting people, free to the world! TED started as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. The two annual TED conferences, in bring together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes or less).
TED is now in the process of creating TED Ed, which is intended to capture and animate the voices of great educators from around the world. Visit TED Ed to learn more, see some initial lessons that have been created, and possibly submit a proposal to have your best lessons added and animated for TED Ed.
