Teachers and the use of technology

Teachers depend on technology (cell phones, computers, search engines) to help them at home and at work.  I think it goes without saying that the more affluent the district is, the more likely the student are to have this technology  at home.  The poorer students may not have access to the internet at home, therefore it limits the teachers to how they can use technology in the classroom.  They are not able to assign homework that would involve a blog or internet research.  So I can see how technology could limit those teachers.  They would have to allow their students time in class for those projects.  Time that, in most cases, is limited already. 
There is also no surprise to me that the older teachers find technology not as important or reliable as the younger ones.  Most teachers did say that they feel children rely to heavily on Google to do the research for them.  And that their student may not be able to identify a reliable source.  I look at this as a failure of the teacher to teach what a reliable source actually is.  Also, those same teachers polled also answered that 99% of them use Google to do their own research.  So, sounds like a little bit of hypocrisy to me.  Overall, teachers rely on technology.  Students do too, we all do.
