 * What || The TED-Ed Web 2.0 tool was introduced in 2012 as a tool for teachers to create lessons around videos. Lessons can include videos, multiple choice, short answer, and open ended questions. Students get instant feedback on the multiple choice questions. An advantage of using this product is that a teacher can steamline the lesson given the needs of their students. Teachers can create their own video or use part of an existing video. A nice feature is the ability to use just the "relevant part" of an existing video. Another option is to directly connect the video with the questions. This is done by adding a hint that will link to the part of the video that addresses the particular question. It is one way to "flip" instruction, review a lesson or to take a concept to a deeper level. ||
