Lots of people in education will happily tell you how the past 15 years of tech integration has been a net negative.

There ARE technologies that have improved things, but so much high-cost useless tech has been shoved into every level of education that many educators are incredibly leery of new tech.

The issue is that while the underlying technology is useful, the way it gets integrated is frequently not. An administrator cuts a deal for a product they never have to use to an ed-tech giant for a huge amount. Because the ink is dry and a huge sum of money has been spent admins pressure educators to use the technology as much as possible regardless of outcome.

In that context it makes a lot more sense why there is pushback and FUD among educators.

I had a chance to use Google Classroom for a non-profit I was volunteering with, and wow it sucks. If that is what teachers and students have to contend with, yeah, I'd push back against any and all tech forced on me as well. It's all well intentioned, but the road to hell is paved with them.
