sometimes itās hard to remove myself from school and remember that iāve always loved to learn
#crazy how that works huh? iām naturally a very curious person#i always want to know how everything works. what itās made of#itās why i like my anatomy class so much#but i mean ever since i was a kid iāve been a learner#i would watch ted-ed videos for hours on end. i knew ted for ted-ed years before i knew about ted talks#i even used to watch crash courseās ap psychology series as a kid#it was fun revisiting that sophomore year. made covid a little easier#but school isnāt an environment that fostered that curiosity in me#not since 5th grade anyways#it became less about ālook at how wonderful the world isā and more about āyouāre gonna be in the real world somedayā#it was āset an example for the other kids.ā it was ādonāt get lazy now and mess up your gpa for high school.ā#it was all just scores and numbers. everything beautiful and unique about learning had been stripped away#and replaced with cold stale machinery. i stopped learning and started answering#iām lucky that iāve always been a good tester. i can rely on it when i need to#except for a long long time i forgot how to learn#how to explore the world as a curious ape#but iām learning now that that curiosity never left. that yearning for new knowledge is still present#itās damaged yes but i can recover it. i want to learn to be curious again#i want to like learning again. i wonāt let a stupid report card strip my life of joy again#hm. ig since iām about to graduate iām feeling introspective#iām excited for college. everyoneās always told me iām gonna love it and iām inclined to believe them#canāt wait to learn just for the sake of it. iām gonna take as many humanities courses as i can fit#i donāt remember which artist said it. maybe picasso?#but i think itās true that weāre all just seeking the freedom of our childhood selves. perhaps our purest forms#children are artists and scientists and inventors. i think everyoneās looking to rediscover that#part of why i use love to make all of my art. i create simply to partake in the joy of it#and isnāt that lovely :)

Ted Ed
TED Ed
I took about an hour playing around with Ted Ed, and here are some of my thoughts:
1. It is a really cool website. I like how it is easy to search so many videos on so many different topics.
2. It was user friendly and step by step when creating an assessment. The assessments can be open ended or MC. I really like how there is a feature where you can leave a āvideo hintā which tells the students which time in the video they should watch to find the correct answer.
3. It is very time consuming. I would be more likely to use this in the long term if I knew that I were going to teach the same subject for several years!
4. Further discovery: I would like to see how students interact with the video lessons, what type of data can be gathered on student performance, and whether or not there are any pre made assessments that I could use (and better yet modify) rather than making them from scratch to save time
Next, I wanted to take a look at what it would look like from a student perspective.
I figure the easiest way to share the lesson is to post a link to it on Schoology. This way students wonāt have to spend an eternity trying to get the exact link correct. Anyways, this is what it looked like for the student:
One concern I have with using the site is that Youtube is blocked on student computers. I hope our district considers unblocking it!
I would seriously consider using this as a formative assessment tool, especially for introducing a new topic!
