You are Never Alone

More of these videos that I’ve been exploring.
This is a much less extensive list than the one I posted yesterday on mobile technologies, so I’m sure you won’t have any problems in suggesting some others.

My criteria: the video should some how relate to education (or an educational issue), good quality, run for about 5 minutes or less and reasonably current. Leave any links you have via comment.
