US school lag behind in use of technology

I think that teachers need to have training on technology in order to keep up with the changes needs of our students. We have to have continuing education on our curriculum, we also need training on upgrading our technology skills. I am not sure how I feel about the laptops yet. I see some good by providing technology to those students who can't afford it at home or are not close to a library. Laptops are also a good organizer and limit the costs of textbooks and repairs.
On the other hand, plagiarizing is already a problem and having access to the internet would only help the students copy and paste information faster.
