TED-Ed is a new resource to me, but one that I think I will begin using quite a lot.
I love that I can turn any youtube video into a lesson for my students. I think that it could be great for introducing a topic, but also as a homework and/or computer lab assignment for students to learn more on a topic of study. I can imagine posting TED-Ed lessons on my wiki for students (and their parents) to check out at home.
The following is the link to the TED-Ed video that I flipped on "Why Americans Vote on Tuesday?"

I chose this video because, with the upcoming election, I think it would be a great conversation starter with my students. The presidential election is such an interesting topic to study, and this video allows students to examine a new facet of this part of history. I also think that it could lead to students wanting to know more about other parts of our government's history.
Some other TED videos that I found interesting are:
