TED-Ed - education channel
Looks like the fantastic movement of TED is looking to channel some of those inspiring speakers towards education. They say their new resource - http://education.ted.com/ - will be coming in April 2012. Meanwhile, here's their new channel on YouTube, with an intro:
Is this going to be a resource worth using, do you think?

Thanks for your comment, Mike. Do you use it for personal/professional learning? - and have you also used it with students at all? Feel free to recommend a good one that's worth watching:-)

I gave the concept of a flipped TED-Ed resource a bit of a work out and quite liked how the 'lesson' came together.

You need to be vary careful with how you construct it as I made a spelling error and can't work if you can or how to edit it.
We used a TED video in my Yr5 class this week as a conversation starter after reading the Lorax on the iPad.
