TED is chock full of amazing content from the world of thinking, making, creating, innovating, etc.   Most folks know about it by now, so why include it?  TED-Ed for one, but for two, it is transformative for enabling customized delivery of the content with piles of UDL features.  It's just awesome.

You can like, comment, share, and track your progress.
