Most teachers don't like electronic devices in the classroom, for various reasons. I tell my students I don't care, as long as they're not bothering anybody and get their work done. But then I've posted all my lectures on public domain and I use class time for questions and student work. They know the schedule. They have on-demand access to all the content, 24/7. My recorded talks are edited so my errors and waste of time are minimized, for more efficient learning. Faster kids can finish early. Slower kids aren't blown away by live lecture.
One sneaky bit about the video content is I can run overtime if I need to, to fully explain something. Traditional lecture, you get 50 minutes, with no pauses, regardless. I break things up into 5-15-minute talks, and all the videos on the topic typically go OVER 50 minutes, when you add up all the times. Pretty mean. But I don't have to leave anything out, and most of the time they actually spend with me in person is either doing work or asking questions, and I can spend the entire time answering questions in which students are 100% engaged, because it's where they're stuck, and their minds are like sponges.
