TED-Ed

It is a free educational website for educators and learners.
It allows users to make use of the educational videos from TED Talks or any YouTube hosted video and easily creates a customized lesson around the video.
Each lesson plan includes four sections: “Watch” (visual learning), “Think” (true–false questions, multiple choice, and open-ended questions), “Dig Deeper” (additional links and resources for those who prefer verbal learning), and “Discuss” (social learning between seniors and trainees).
As students discuss and answer questions about the video, a teacher can respond privately and individually. There is also a written record of the discussion and exchange which can be referenced as an assessment tool.
