technology has better uses than improving test scores and it should be used to do things that matter.
some school districts have abandoned one to one laptop programs because they showed little if any effect on grades/test scores
high stakes testing has drawbacks, such as teaching to the test and test burn out - meaning that technology does not necessarily fix these issues
Students can waste time using technology, and teachers may not know how to use technology - thus taking away from any boost of test scores
Technology can still be misused - especially if it is incorporated into every clasroom
The use of more technology does not guarantee better grades. By using technology to pursue high test scores, we overlook non academic skills.
