What do you know, sometimes advertisements CAN yield educational benefits... just found CrashCourse, a channel on youtube educating peeps about history, science, the works, using animation and other interesting tools.
It's an interesting approach to widening access to knowledge, though anything called "Crash Course" is bound to carry some problematic assumptions/consequences, especially if we're approaching history in a very sure-fire linear way. What do you think about this approach? Where do you think the filmmakers are coming from, what is being presumed? Or, what isn't being said?
