Not sure if I am supposed to answer the questions about the video here but just in case.
1) I think after watching the video it is so important because so many people can watch the same type of media and interpret in so many ways. This is especially true with students. My daughters watched video on animal cruelty but all they could see was that the dogs were cute, not that they were being abused.
2) I think the most importtant part for me to learn is how to look at media in a mor objective way. I have had a general negative thought process about how media presents things for quite sometime. I think many children also take on the biases that their parents take on as well, so also how do we get them to look objectively.
3) I am not as technologically advanced as I feel I should be. I don't have a smart phone, I do not really use social media, and for the most part I look at technology as a way to get things accomplished not so much as a fun way of doing things at times. I hope to feel better about that after this course.

I think your goal of teaching students to be objective when analyzing media will help your students develop augmentation skills! Struggling students often find media literacy activities engaging and accessible!
