TED-Ed’s commitment to creating lessons worth sharing is an extension of TED’s mission of spreading great ideas. Within the growing TED-Ed video library, you will find carefully curated educational videos, many of which represent collaborations between talented educators and animators nominated through the TED-Ed platform. This platform also allows users to take any useful educational video, not just TED’s, and easily create a customized lesson around the video. Users can distribute the lessons, publicly or privately, and track their impact on the world, a class, or an individual student.

The use of moving image as a non-traditional literacy text across Curriculum for Excellence offers engaging and exciting opportunities to get learners speaking, listening, reading, writing and creating. Short films are ideal as they are complete, easily accessible and good for multiple viewing. On this website, you will find a collection of superb downloadable films (fiction, animation and factual) suitable for primary and secondary school audiences.
