This book spends most of its pages on "how to get people to use video", and almost nothing on actual, actionable ways to learn from video and improve teaching.

From memory, the actual, on topic contents:
1. Watch video more than once.
2. Watch students more than teacher
3. Pick something to improve
4. Set a goal
5. Make changes to move toward that goal
6. Repeat
7. Watch with others people. Discuss.
8. Watch other people teach the same material

There are a few other things that are specific to teaching academic subjects in high school, which seems to be the unstated focus of the book.

Many, many references linked. Most do not have any indication of quality or usefulness, so links to hundreds of items is probably less useful than a few references that come with better descriptions and evaluations. Lots of links to the author's other books.
