Tech Tools for Interactive Remote Teaching Webinar
TED-Ed is a “lesson creator” platform that allows you to structure an assignment around a video and assess students’ engagement with the material. The lesson format consists of a lesson title, a written introduction (“Let’s Begin”), a series of multiple choice or open-ended questions (“Think”), a place for additional resources to encourage further exploration (“Dig Deeper”), an interactive class discussion (“Discuss”), and a closing (“And Finally”).
Learning Activities
Learning Activities
Math: Students watch a video that is either explicitly about a math concept or a subject which requires numeracy skills to understand. Students answer related questions which require calculations similar to those in the video. Also see TED Ed Originals and TED Ed lessons for mathematics.
Science: Have students find a video which could be used to demonstrate a particular scientific concept (e.g., gravity) and create a lesson plan which is then shared with other students. Also see TED Ed Originals and TED Ed lessons for science and technology.
Second/Foreign Languages: Students practice listening skills by watching videos of speakers in “authentic” scenarios and answering questions which require focus on particular content or constructions.
Other: Student groups are assigned with different videos on the same topic and reply to identical question sets. Once complete, students share and compare their answers either in an online discussion or face-to-face and discover in what ways the videos complement or contradict each other and suggest why this might be the case. Also see TED Ed Originals and TED Ed lessons for social studies.
