TED-Ed for Administrators

With so many websites, documents, articles, and more that claim to help teachers teach and students learn, it can be difficult for administrators to filter through it all and recommend resources for their staff. Add in the county restrictions to websites like YouTube and it can be very frustrating.

TED-Ed is a resource administrators can feel confident in recommending to teachers, parents, and students for supplementing what's being taught in classrooms. TED-Ed is an extension of the TED (Technology, Entertainment, and Design) conference where the mission is to share "ideas worth spreading."

Once an administrator begins recommending videos from the TED-Ed library it may be natural for the recipients to find videos from the non-Ed side, which opens up another world of topics, concepts, innovations, and ideas.
