Who has not heard of TED Ed? But did you know you could design lessons for your students on the platform?
With us being in remote learning mode, I'm constantly on the lookout for meaningful tools that I can use to engage my students and design a good learning experience for them. And this is what I discovered.
Ted Ed not only has ready lessons for you, you can customise those to suit the needs of your students, you can even create one from scratch.
You can use these lessons as:
- An introduction to a topic.
- Reviewing a topic already taught.
- Differentiate learning according to student needs and multiple intelligences.
- Low-cost field trip, especially useful in Covid times.
- Help cover learning gaps due to student absence.
- Encourage students to look beyond the curriculum.
- As formative assessment
