I have been looking for interesting ways to incorporate TedTalks into my classroom discussion and I discovered this website: http://ed.ted.com/videos. This link is a great way for educators to build lessons around any TED-ED original, TED Talk or YouTube video. This editor allows you to add questions, discussion prompts and additional resources. When you create the lesson, you can then monitor learners progress and submitted work, too.
Has anyone used this tool? I am a novice but would like to know more about it.

No -- but I've messed around with some similar programs that let you manipulate movies that way. It's a *little* tricky sometimes but for actual teaching it sort of enforces "no, really watch the whole thing!" and I've known teachers who ask arbitrary questions (what color is the mug you just saw?) as well as more challenging ones.
