My district is very supportive of technology, especially when it comes to buying hardware, but very wary of many of the things you mentioned. I think it is due, in large part, to the fact that we are in the middle of the Bible belt, and no one wants to offend anyone. But I loved your point about keeping the kids engaged and then they won't be "off-task". It shouldn't be the IT department's responsibility to keep students on-task. That should be the teacher's job!! Thank you for posting this information.
