USA Africa Dialogue Series - Fwd: Announcing a new way to teach with video: TED-Ed's "Flip This Lesson"

Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser Dear Ike After more than a year of planning and dreaming, today we're launching our TED-Ed website, http://ed.ted.com/ a new open platform for using video in education.     It allows 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 assigned in class or as homework, complete with context, follow-up questions and further resources.  The site is in beta. But we think there's enough there to show why we're so excited about this.     This whole process is explained really well in this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQDgE_eJGTM&feature=youtube_gdata_player Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser I hope you'll explore the new site and be as excited about it as we are. And please share your feedback by emailing education@ted.com. We're eager to know how you think TED-Ed might best be used, and how we might improve it. If it works, it will be, as ever, through the power of all of us.     With best regards,   Chris Anderson , TED Curator    TED 250 Hudson St., Suite 1002 New York, NY 10013 Unsubscribe from all Conference Community List communication | Update email info | Email us
