April Guldenrath (Colorado Springs) , an English and Philosophy teacher, TED-Ed contributor, uses screencasting to convey content to her students in the most effective way she can, to gain a fuller understanding of the subject matter.

April Guldenraths TED-Ed Cartoon  (together with Cartoonist Franz Palomares ) belongs to the 10 most popular TED-Ed lessons
