PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TOOL Presentation
Ted-ED
Educators must consistently work to develop their instructional practices and many websites and programs provide resources for teachers to discover lesson materials or hone their own teaching skills. TED-Ed is a learning network for instructors in that they can browse many awesome videos and view teacher created lessons to implement in their classrooms. The created lessons can be shared with students so they can complete the activity within the program. This is a great way to engage students in an interesting and different way through multimedia. This could be done at the start of a unit to have students think critically and discuss the topic before diving in deeper to the learning. This tool can also be used for professional development as it had TED videos for educators and instructional coaches could even create short lessons or learning opportunities for teachers using the bank of videos provided.
