I would argue that it's not the use of technology that is the problem. It is HOW technology is used. Powerpoints have their place - but they are not a true implementation of student-centered learning. Online, self-paced, math tutorials may be effective in some cases, but are definitely not the only way to test student knowledge. We've got to start thinking about teaching and learning differently and not simply transfer what we do in the face-to-face classroom to the online environment. Just my two cents.
This is one of the best (and only) sites I've found that has a really comprehensive overview of blended learning. It's a bit text heavy, but if you can wade through it, you'll find some practical applications for your own classroom.
This site has some tips for teaching in blended learning environments. Some echo your articles above. There are also resources for teachers.
