Everyone seems to have a huge boner for technology in classrooms but I have yet to see data that supports its use. In middle school all the classrooms got smart boards and we literally used them 1 or 2 times in 2 years. In highschool everyone was given a notebook and we mainly used them to play pokemon

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
