I kept going in circles until I could finally get to the questions. I was not on an iPhone… I was on a Mac laptop. But I did finish all the lessons and looked forward to them each day. Knowing there was a test (and being competitive), I found myself paying close attention to all the details in the lesson. I learned why I crave sugar… and not fish. I also was prompted to ask a battery expert if I should fully discharge my rechargeable batteries. (NO! They’ll last longer if I can keep them plugged in… as with my cell phone, computer, toothbrush, etc). Even the bug lessons were great.

I definitely want to do another challenge.

I did the one yesterday too. I hope that you will continue this next year with treats in between. I also loved the animation and clear explanations.

One comment about the speaker-please ask your female teachers to slow their speech down. They often mumbled words or they spoke so fast that I couldn’t get them after several tries.

I reviewed my lessons and had inadvertently left a couple of answers unsaved. All good now!

I am a fan of the animation and clear explanations and probing questions. Ted-Ed lessons will have a more prominent place in my classroom as a result of this experience.
Thanks!

I learned a lot of little tidbits to share with students. I did have an issue with lesson 30- it wouldn’t complete despite my going through it a couple times. Other than that, it was easy to do!

http://blog.ed.ted.com/2015/07/21/ted-ed-july-challenge-heres-the-archive-of-daily-lessons/?utm_source=TED-Ed+July+Challenge&utm_campaign=088828a7c7-2013_09_219_19_2013&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_3a5b553ced-088828a7c7-47855881
and if you have an account you can click on the shaded portrait icon in the top right corner, it will bring out a box, and if you click on “lessons”, it will take you to a page that lists all the lessons you’ve completed and along the left side are options for lessons you started or published etc.

I agree that the questions helped me to stay focused on the video! :)

My 4.5 year old niece just wants to watch it over and over, she’s pretty smart asking me a few questions about it I paused the video a couple times to explain things to her! I love getting little kids excited about math and sciency things!

I have loved this as a great challenge to me personally and as a teacher. I can take so much of this back into the classroom (just next week here in Georgia) and cannot wait to guide my 5th graders through some of these. The hard questions MUST be asked and our kids today need to start trying to find the answers to these questions.
