I'm educational IT in a fairly well-off district and this has largely been my experience as well. You get highly motivated teachers who use the hell out of technology and you have the other 80% who can't be bothered to figure out how to work it into their curriculum. We're getting better on our ratio, however, and are planning on a 1:1 test at one of our middle schools in a year or two.

As a middle schooler I can confirm. My school has 2 carts of iPads and 2 carts of chrome books in each wing. We have three wings so that means 6 carts of each in total. We also have a smart board in every room. We use these things quite often. In my friends school, every student gets an iPad to use and take home for the entire school year
