You are Never Alone

I’ve been doing some trawling of video offerings on the internet in the last couple of days looking for some about communication technologies related to education.

I’ve mainly been looking at Youtube, and I am aware that in some cases restrictions at the workplace may mean that you will have to look at these at home.

So, while you can enjoy the ones I’ve come up with, I thought you might also be able to help me out with things that you’ve found. My only criteria are that it must relate somehow to education, and that I’m looking for good quality material that runs for about 5 minutes or less, and is reasonably current. Leave any links you have via a comment.
