I find that different students want to know how to do different things with their programming.  I found myself either teaching information to large groups that was not helpful to many of them, or teaching the same thing over and over to individuals.  So, I basically made these lessons so they can watch them on their own.  I made them with Loom and put them on YouTube.  Here's a bunch of links to them.  Hope you find them helpful!
