I think you're conflating giving technology to teachers and giving technology to students.
It seems nutty to me to imagine that just giving students computers is going to provide an educational benefit, although apparently some people would disagree. But providing schools with better technology for guided instruction (e.g. computer labs, ancillary instructional material available online, homework management software) sounds totally sensible.
