  • These lessons don't replace good teaching, but they can be supplementary resources for students and teachers around the world.
  • Let's look at this one, created by a teacher in the US and an animator in the UK.
  • When you arrive on the lesson page, simply click play; the video will continue to play as you navigate the lesson's sections that surround it.

  • So that's how you flip a featured TED-Ed video, We've got one more major feature to tell you about.
  • Using the TED-Ed platform, you can flip any video from YouTube.
