Scoop.it!
There are so many articles and posts today on the new open platform TED-Ed...and with good reason. They state "the goal is to allow any teacher to take a video of their choice (yes, any video on YouTube, not just ours) and make it the heart of a 'lesson' that can easily be assigne din class or as homework, complete with context, follow-up questions and further resources." This scoop will send you to a page that has a video TED-Ed Website tour; a sample of a lesson where the teacher and the animator worked together; and tools that allow you to edit headlines, introductions, questions and follow-up links. Take the time to look at these new offerings, and realize that this is the beginning of a resource that become a key component of your tool box.

Do you teach science? If so take a look at this series which looks at superpowers and explores them. The six videos explore Flight, Immortality, Invisibility, Super Strength, Super Speed and Body Mass.
There is a lesson available for each superpower that is divided into four sections: Watch (the video), Think (questions students answer - a combination of multiple choice and open answer), Dig Deeper (resources for further exploration) and Discuss (a forum is available online). You may also choose to flip the lesson and make it your own.
These are many great videos on TED-Ed that are available and we know our students are engaged when they watch videos. Take some time to explore the videos at TED-Ed and consider using them in your classroom.
