TED-Ed | Lessons Worth Sharing

A new TED site with educational material and accompanying lessons.  Teachers can customize the lessons and use the site to create their own lessons for any TEd or YouTube video content.  This could be very useful in our Research Writing courses among others

• This is a good looking site for high-quality on-line courses.  It might be interesting to get a group of ICU studnts to take one of these courses with the ELA providing English language support.
