Why are students not actively involved with the technology that is already in schools?

-Depending on the demographics of the community the school is located in schools may not have access to much technology.
-With technology expanding so fast teachers may not be able to keep up and know how to use this technology to its full potential. With new programs coming out every year it is hard to keep up to date with technology.
-There may also be funding cuts on technology related jobs such as those people who repair or fix technology when it goes down. If only half of the laptops in a laptop cart work it may be difficult to have every students benefit from technology if there isn't enough for each student. 
-While technology can be very useful in getting information it is also very distracting. Teachers may be worried about keeping students on-task and actually benefiting from technology.
