I taped my first class today, i haven't watched it yet, but i think it went well. No one dominated the conversation and i remember to include students who weren't volunteering and even checked for understsnding a few times. I think it went well over all, now i just have to make sure i get all of the permission slips in. I'll have to look up whether or not they have to be able to see the board. I gave them time to think individually, then in groups, then had the whole class discussion to tease out their misunderstandings and get to the heart of the matter, doing an exponent backwards. This will set up the discussion about how exponents are related to logs and hopefully not make it such a mystery.
