Technology intergration in the classroom

How is technology use related to school reform?
As new technologies develop, it is instrumental that schools adapt and use those technologies not only in teaching subjects such as history and math,  but that schools also teach usage of these technologies, especially when they will be useful in the careers and lives of the students. Schools need to adapt to the world as the world changes, to better prepare children to live in that world.

Why are students not actively involved with the technology already in their classrooms?
Teachers, like most people, become comfortable with ways of doing things, even when newer, "better" methods are available. Additionally, teachers may lack in training, or budget issues may prevent technology from being efficiently available.
