Since flipping was new to both me and my students, I decided I needed to prepare them for taking notes via video rather than just assigning them a lecture at home and hoping for the best. So for the last lecture of chapter 4, we watched a video lesson as a class. I had made note outlines for the students to follow along with and so they didn't need to spend their time drawing graphs, making tables AND taking notes. I frequently paused the videos, showed my students where important information would be located and the kinds of things I expected them to write down.
Class went really well, the students seemed to like cheesey Dr. Burger and found it easy to understand his explanations. Being a couple days into my flip now, I really think this introduction was beneficial to both me and my students. It helped them realize my expectations and it gave them a level of familiarity with a brand new system.
