Dan Meyer has some great videos that are appearing online this summer -- I'll link to the tag he's using for all his videos. Currently, he's made 2 of the 10 videos that will be covering over the summer.

The videos are excellent; the comments are also a great read.
And, fwiw, I make it through somewhere between 15 and 60 seconds of most of the swill that passes as video. I've watched the videos from Dan's blog multiple times.
Cheers,
Bill
