What is TED?

What is TED? TED is a non-profit organization that was started in 1984 to bring thinkers and doers together from the worlds of technology, entertainment and design for the purpose of sharing great ideas!

There are many excellent "TED Talks" presentations that can be found on the TED web  site, TED podcasts, the TED Channel on YouTube and elsewhere. There is also a separate web site targeted at education called "TED-ED."

For both your personal learning or to share with your students, all educators need to check out TED and learn from some of the most fascinating people who present on everything from music to technology to science to education, and much more!

The main TED web site: www.ted.com
The TED-Ed web site: ed.ted.com

Do you use TED in the classroom? Any favorite "TED Talks" presentations?
