Kathy - you bring up a great point. Technology is there to assist the teacher, not replace them, and students need to be told that otherwise they not only feel cheated, they also feel alone and frightened.
For example, videos are a great reinforcement or advanced study tool, and they're also great for flipping the classroom. Specifically:
Reinforcement - some students aren't getting it, so why not point them to additional resources, such as videos, where they can catch up to the rest of the class and/or hear things from a diferent perspective? I use this especially effectively with mathematics techniques.
Advanced Study - some students are well advanced and ahead of the rest of the class. You don't want them to be bored, so you can challenge them with additional material beyond what you will teach to the other students. This material can be in the form of prepared videos. I use this especially well with advanced technologies - where the vendors of these cutting edge products often make videos public to showcase and explain them (medical, manufacturing, automotive, netowrk security, everything really).
Flipping the Classroom - Rather than have students read a chapter before class discussion, why not have them watch a lecture you've video recorded, or a great YouTube video you've found.
