The videos were cute and interesting, and I think there's something to be said about bringing humour and excitement like hers to a classroom. The class was more or less fully engaged, and maybe that has something to do with most everyone having a mathematical background, or tired of doing routine school work. But I believe part of it can be attributed to the excitement the youtuber brought to the video itself. It's often been mentioned in class that showing interest in your own work can be infectious for your students as well, and I believe we saw that firsthand.
OK, though not truly an adequate response. You do raise some interesting starting points though.
