What is TEDEd?
It sparks and celebrates the ideas of teachers and students around the world.
Teachers support learning by bringing TEDEd to their schools and helping curious students around the globe gain presentation literacy skills. TEDEd has grown from an idea worth spreading into an award-winning education platform that serves millions of teachers and students around the world every day.
