AHHHHH! I am so excited! My students and I are embarking on a new chapter- exponents and polynomials- and I thought I would try something different. From the start I wanted the lectures to be my own; I think it makes it more personal for my students and also teaches them exactly what I want them to know and how I want it to be done.
I loved that I had the option to use someone else's videos that perfectly fit my curriculum until I got my feet underneath me. Two chapters in to transforming my classroom into a flipped environment, I was up to the challenge. At my school we have interactive white boards with and application called SMART Notebook. With this program I can make slides, similar to PowerPoint, and then be able to write on top of them. There is a camera feature that allows me to record whatever is on my screen. So I made a few slides for the Multiplication Rules of Exponents and hit record! As you can see, the video is of me talking through a few problems and magically writing on top of the slides. It obviously needs some work, but you've gotta start some where! Enjoy!
