1
00:00:00,706 --> 00:00:02,207
Right now, somewhere out there,

2
00:00:02,231 --> 00:00:05,269
an educator is delivering
a mind-altering lesson to their class.

3
00:00:06,293 --> 00:00:08,270
I want to engage your brains in this.

4
00:00:08,294 --> 00:00:11,574
Chris Anderson: I tried to get
my head around how vast our Earth is.

5
00:00:11,598 --> 00:00:14,753
Logan Smalley: That lesson only reaches
the students in that room.

6
00:00:14,777 --> 00:00:16,578
What would happen if we captured it?

7
00:00:16,602 --> 00:00:17,740
It's a toothed wheel.

8
00:00:17,764 --> 00:00:20,251
LS: What if pro animators
and visualization artists

9
00:00:20,275 --> 00:00:21,859
could bring that lesson to life?

10
00:00:21,883 --> 00:00:24,908
CA: It's a common object
that literally fits one million Earths.

11
00:00:24,932 --> 00:00:27,311
It's got a bunch of notches
and a bunch of teeth.

12
00:00:27,335 --> 00:00:28,742
This was Fizeau's solution --

13
00:00:28,766 --> 00:00:31,092
LS: When that lesson lands,
curiosity is ignited.

14
00:00:31,116 --> 00:00:32,482
CA: It seems impossibly big.

15
00:00:32,506 --> 00:00:34,136
AS: Something interesting happens.

16
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:36,591
CA: In the great scheme
of things, it's a pinprick.

17
00:00:36,615 --> 00:00:40,626
AS: A door closes on the light beam
that's coming back to his eye.

18
00:00:40,650 --> 00:00:43,209
LS: Then that group of students
is one thought closer

19
00:00:43,233 --> 00:00:46,544
to being what every teacher
hopes their students will become:

20
00:00:46,568 --> 00:00:47,569
a lifelong learner.

21
00:00:47,593 --> 00:00:50,273
AS: Based on the distance
between the two stations --

22
00:00:50,297 --> 00:00:53,217
CA: The quest for knowledge
and understanding never gets dull.

23
00:00:53,241 --> 00:00:57,226
AS: He calculates the speed of light
to within two percent of its actual value.

24
00:00:57,250 --> 00:01:00,645
CA: The more you know,
the more amazing the world seems.

25
00:01:00,669 --> 00:01:02,679
That's the central mission of TED-Ed:

26
00:01:02,703 --> 00:01:04,798
to capture and to amplify

27
00:01:04,822 --> 00:01:06,840
the voice of the world's
greatest teachers.

28
00:01:06,865 --> 00:01:09,659
He does this in 1849.

29
00:01:09,683 --> 00:01:12,721
CA: It's the crazy possibilities,
the unanswered questions,

30
00:01:12,745 --> 00:01:14,146
that pull us forward.

31
00:01:14,170 --> 00:01:16,781
So stay curious.

32
00:01:20,211 --> 00:01:23,804
TED-Ed is really an invitation
to teachers all around the world

33
00:01:23,828 --> 00:01:25,336
to submit their best lessons.

34
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,594
Jordan Reeves: We review each submission
and work with the educators

35
00:01:28,618 --> 00:01:32,260
to refine the lesson and make sure
that they're less than ten minutes long.

36
00:01:32,284 --> 00:01:34,918
From there, we mail out
these portable recording booths.

37
00:01:34,942 --> 00:01:36,808
A teacher pulls up their final lesson,

38
00:01:36,832 --> 00:01:40,371
presses record and can instantly share it
with our animation team.

39
00:01:40,395 --> 00:01:42,820
It's also an invitation to animators.

40
00:01:42,844 --> 00:01:45,311
We are looking for talented animators

41
00:01:45,335 --> 00:01:47,269
to get involved, submit their reels

42
00:01:47,293 --> 00:01:49,939
and help us animate
these incredible lessons.

43
00:01:50,819 --> 00:01:53,662
LS: Right now, there's a gifted educator
somewhere out there

44
00:01:53,686 --> 00:01:55,380
delivering a life-changing lesson.

45
00:01:55,404 --> 00:01:58,575
The TED-Ed team hopes that anyone
who is passionate about education

46
00:01:58,599 --> 00:02:00,312
will help us find that teacher,

47
00:02:00,336 --> 00:02:02,659
capture that moment and amplify it

48
00:02:02,683 --> 00:02:05,013
the way that it deserves to be amplified.
