created by TED that aims to bring
lessons to life through animated
videos and other interactive learning
experiences. The platform features a

3. TED-Ed was launched in 2011 as an extension of
TED Conferences, the organization that hosts TED
Talks and other events focused on "Ideas Worth
Spreading." The goal of TED-Ed was to harness
the power of video to inspire and educate people
around the world, with a particular focus on
providing educational resources to teachers and
students.
According to the TED-Ed website, the platform was
created in response to the popularity of TED Talks
and the numerous requests the organization
received from teachers and educators who
wanted to use the talks in their classrooms.
4. TED-Ed operates by taking existing TED Talks and
other educational videos and creating lesson plans
and other educational resources based on these
videos. These resources are then made available on
the TED-Ed website and YouTube channel. Users
can browse the available lessons and resources, and
can also submit their own ideas for lessons to be
developed by the TED-Ed team.
