The youtube video was a presentation of two people speaking, but it didn't show them, it just had their voices and words brought on the screen. I thought it was a neat idea and it was comical because some of the words explained the presentation in funny side views. It also used images when specifying on certain points. It was a good visual.
I found it interesting when the video talked about mixing content with pedagogy. Such as, just because you're a mathmetician doesn't mean you know how to teach math. A mathmetician would have to be transformed into a teacher, before he or she tried to teach math.
Another thing I liked about the video is that it stated teachers are having too much technology thrown at them to learn it all. Among the list was leappad, adobe, mapquest, world of warcraft, and etc. I find this true, because along with learning subject and content material you now have to know how to work blackboard, youtube, email accounts, and many other technological things. Future teachers may have to go to school even longer just to learn all that information.
