 How to Create TED-ED Lessons?

                        


    It's not a secret anymore. I'm fond of watching TED-ED videos!!!! Do you know why? Because TED-ED's fantastic animations/ videos can transform even the most mundane subjects into wildly engaging content. But,  what amazed me more is that you can use TED-ED videos to create a lesson plan based on a video and assess students' engagement with the material. Isn't that great???? 

    Yes, you can use any YouTube video you find (or create) or choose from the curated "TED-Ed Originals" section, which includes lessons co-created by educators worldwide.

    The format of the lesson includes:

-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 stimulate further exploration  (" Dig Deeper "), 

-an interactive class discussion  (" Discuss ")

 -and a closing (" And Finally "). 

*Once you've "published" the lesson, you can share the link with whomever and however, you want.

    Here are the simple steps on how to create a TED-Ed lesson:   

Step 1: Create a TED-Ed account.   Go to ed.ted.com and click the "register" button in the upper right corner. They will ask you for some personal information and then provide you with a username and password to manage all of your activities and lessons.


Step 2: Pick a video and create your lesson. Once you've chosen a new YouTube video, paste the URL into the "Create a Lesson" bar. You will be able to include an introduction as well as the Think (multiple choice and open-ended questions), Dig Deeper (additional resources), and Discuss sections in the video (guided or open forums).

 Once you have pasted the URL, click Continue.


After that, you'll instantly see the different formats like in the screenshot below. Click "Think" if you want to compose multiple-choice or open-ended questions. 


Step 3: Publish your lesson:  You'll get a unique URL for your lesson page after you publish it. This link is only accessible to you, and it is not listed in the site search on ed.ted.com or indexed by search engines. However, anyone who receives this link will be able to access it, so you can share it with your class in any way that works for you.

Step 4: Keep track of progress. You'll be able to monitor students' progress and view their answers as they submit work to your lesson page. By visiting your lesson activity page, you can manage the lessons you've created, return to editing your drafts, or access student work at any time.

TED-ED is simple to use with a clean interface, right?  I hope you enjoyed learning today. See you in the next blog post!

 Hello again! I'm back in my element (at least for the time being ✌) This time I want to share with you one of the coolest websites that I have known in my entire life (shout out to my lecturer 👨‍🏫). I just actually knew it a few weeks ago. I just couldn't believe that I never stumbled onto this kind of stuff in the past. This is really a game-changer! If you want to know what it is, stay put in this blog... This is how the website looks like.  Without further ado, what I was talking about is text to speech tool or "tts" in short. Have you heard about it? Because for me personally, it's a novel thing. Don't you notice that it really made an impact on me? Well, it's because this tool helped me a lot to turn my reading text into speech when I was developing my listening test. It is a type of assistive device that reads digital text out loud with the click of a button or the touch of a finger .   It's also known as "read-aloud" technology. Im...

Not your Ordinary Dictionary

-
Get to know the best dictionary available for  English language learners!       As you know, dictionary apps are always a valuable tool - regardless of whether you're learning a new language for the first time or merely want to check the meaning of a few words you didn't understand in class, at work, or while reading a newspaper, having a dictionary on hand is always useful.      Admit it or not, the English language contains millions of words, and the average speaker (like me) only uses a small percentage of the new jargon and phrases. A dictionary app can help you expand your English vocabulary in addition to learning new words.      Now, my question is: are you looking for a dictionary app that you can bring anytime, anywhere? Fret no more, because this app is not just an ordinary app, but (at least for me) a fun and extraordinary one! This app is the no.1 choice of an educational app store! You heard it right, guys.

Buzzing with Bamboozle

-
Have you ever heard about bamboozle learning app? Baammm what? Is there an app named like that?🤷‍♀️                            But, before I begin, there's one thing you should know: the platform is extremely simple and intuitive, regardless of who you are or who you're teaching. So, even if you're a technophobe with a fear of adventure, you'll be able to use the site with ease.           Prolly you'll think, isn't it "bamboozle" meant to trick or deceive someone, often by confusing them?". Don't fret, I felt the same way when I first heard about it. When I was making my first game, I was completely perplexed. I was looking for ways to give my classmates access to the game. Unlike other platforms, your students will not be compelled to use their own devices, making the process simple and stress-free. They do not need iPads, laptop computers, or any other expensive equipment...

www= wonderful word wall

Hello! Welcome to my second blog! I wonder how you are doing while reading this blog. I hope all is well with you :) This time I want to share with you another wonderful app that I've just known from our lecturer. After using it once for our micro-teaching, I really found it interesting and fun. I'm not a pro though as I'm still navigating through the app but little by little, I'm getting a hang of it. As you know, I've been (I think not only myself have thought about this, I bet you too) using and playing Kahoot and Quizziz for these past two years and sometimes I feel like I want something new and upgraded. Well, well, well. If Kahoot amazes you, this one is on another level, guys! Hope you give it a try!                                                                       But...
