Flipped Classroom Might Be Flaming Out

Image
So I flipped my classroom.  I thought the kids would love homework that was watching videos and using their technology for school. Granted it is only the 2nd week of school, but I am already feeling that my kids are not buying in.  Ugh. My onlevel students just think it means they don't have any homework.  So when they come to class, they have no idea what we are discussing that day.  Right now it is a lot of review from 6th grade, but I can already see the roadblocks when we get to new material.  It isn't going to be pretty. And my accelerated students are mixed.  They like using the technology, but a few of them are complaining the videos take longer than a worksheet. Some of them don't really like it because it is new.  But at least they all are trying it. So now what? How long do I keep trying? Do I do a mix?  Maybe have videos with the worksheets?  Help is now greatly appreciated!
