With advancements in technology and social media, the spread of information has grown exponentially. TED has been a driving force in bringing experts from all over the world to give short lectures in their respective fields. For the Science Education community, this has allowed a complex scholarly article to be presented in a visual and engaging way, giving access to complex theories for all.
TedEd has taken this concept a step further, combining educators, innovators and artists to create short educational videos. These videos engage through questions, discussions and opportunities to dig deeper in to the concept presented.
Throughout our course, we will be exploring many topics in Physics that are developing quickly. We will be working through Topics in Physics on a weekly basis!
