The Fog and Friction of Flipping

So, my students couldn't access the video for some weird reason.  However, it was widespread.  So, I resorted to teaching the "unflipped" way.  Engagement was WAY down.  Way, Way Down...I was very frustrated with how little they seemed to want to pay attention.  Students that typically have problems with math were talking amongst themselves and paying very little attention to the lesson, thereby compounding their problems but providing a temporary "out" to the situation.
