I have never videorecorded myself, but I like the idea of recording myself delivering a lecture. It allows me to review any distracting mannerisms that I am not aware of, or reinforce successful elements of my delivery.

I learned that I need to walk around my classroom to consider the environment from a student's perspective, the presence or absence of necessary equipment or tools, and the presence of potential distractions.

I've learned that my personality is part of my teaching. How I interact with people influences how I teach students and listen to them. This tells me that I need to reflect more on how I interact with others, communicate information, and listen to their responses and questions.
