There's a book on this by Ball & Lampert, at
http://www.amazon.com/Teaching-Multimedia-Mathematics-Investigations-Practitioner/dp/0807737577/

I've used this in doctoral classes.
While the multimedia archive aspect is valuable, I actually find more
value in the wisdom of their understanding of curriculum, in general, and
teacher education curriculum, in particular.
