The first interesting thing I learned from the video was that quality teaching includes transforming the content of the lesson. This transforming act has to deal with Pedagogical Content Knowledge or PCK for short. This transformation has to make things interesting and accessible to students. The transformation is the act of learning how to think in a disciplined manner.
The second thing I learned is that teachers can't always keep up with technology because of how quickly it changes. Expecting teachers to be able to keep up with it when most other people can't is too much and unfair. It was nice to hear that someone else thinks it is unfair to take it out on the teachers if they can't keep up with it. Normally I hear everything being blamed on the teachers. Their solution is instead of trying to keep up with the change, teachers should develop a thoughtful and playful attitude toward the new mediaecology.
The third thing I learned is that even though everybody makes a big deal out of digital technology, digital technologies are messy and complicated at times. The video gave an example of the I-phone and how it is unstable. I agree that it can be messy and needs some errors sorted out. However like the video said, technology does change everything sometimes for the bad but most of the time for the better once any errors get sorted out.
