My Take
I love Ted Ed videos. They are always informative and well done. Speakers come from diverse areas and backgrounds and are able to bring different voices that my students need to hear from. The one caution I would have is for earlier years; teachers should make sure it is appropriate for their student's levels of ability. It seems to be targeted for secondary education.
How I Use It
I have used this tool in several ways in my teaching.
1. As a starter or anticipatory set
2. As part of a class lecture
3. Prompt for class discussion, or critical response
4. Part of a flipped assignment
5. In hyperdocs
6. As review resources

A wide variety of videos are available to meet various lecture requirements. And most of the videos are convenient for students to watch with subtitles, and are also an aid for learners of other languages. Definitely a useful website.

Interactive Content!
TED-Ed is a great way to take sometimes-boring subjects and transform them into engaging content by using videos. I have watched many ted talks throughout my educational career and always found them entertaining. This website is easy to navigate and you are able to filter to find the content you want. You can even filter by age, content type, subtitles, and more. The only downside is that there are some non-educational videos so it is easy to get distracted. I would recommend using it in classrooms if the teacher is displaying the video to the students so it avoids any distractions!
