Education worth spreading

TED has just released Ted-Ed, a series of videos for educational purposes. The organisation is slick but the best part is that educators — like myself — can edit a video’s page to tie in with their own lesson preferences. Here is one that I just edited; mostly because it is a longstanding interest of mine.

Between this, the Khan Academy and all the other education videos going out there, there is an incredible wealth of resources for the classroom. Just as well I still have control over what I require students to see … well, for now.
