First off, thanks to all that tried out Padlet! There were many that emailed me and commented on how easy and fun it looks. Many of you participated in the ones I created, too! Such a great tool! Today, we talk TedEd. I've been pushing this one for awhile. I send these out to content times several times a month. I highly believe in this site and its lessons. I even did one of my college projects on this site! Check out my VoiceThread below. TedEd is a website that uses educators that create videos while collaborating with animators. There are lessons created and posted during the week and great educational TED Talks on the weekends.

Under the hood: The chemistry of cars What are those floaty things in your eye? How to build a fictional world Mile of Pi The Pharaoh that wouldn't be forgotten There are topics for ALL subjects. All of them. Seriously. Check them out! I NEED someone to use this resource. And tell me when they do it. I want to come check it out!

There is now a teacher's guide that can be downloaded. Some ways I have used this:
