    Has anyone here used TED Talks in their classrooms or had their teachers use them before? #TEDEdChat

    I have had teachers and professors use TED talks in their lessons! They have been extremely infomative and able to hold the attention of an entire class #TEDEdChat

    That's awesome! I have also had professors use them! The messages that they portray are always so inspiring; it's hard not to focus on them! They're a great tool to take a break from teaching for a few minutes, too. #TedEdChat

    It really is! They have led me to do a lot of independent learning by watching their videos outside of class. Have you done anything similar? #TEDEdChat

    #TEDEdChat I used to have a professor that used TED talks to show the projection of informative and persuasive speeches!

    That sounds interesting, Jake. Did the TED talks inspire you to learn outside of class or explore other subjects with TED talks? #TEDEdChat

    Most definitely! I recently watched a TED Talk about the inner workings of the minds of procrastinators. It's a video that I can relate to and it helps me understand other procrastinators as well! Here's a link if you're interested! https://t.co/2DCjL79ji6 #TEDEdChat
