Despite being more comfortable than ever with technology, teachers still aren't using it on a regular basis, according to the 2016 Technology Counts survey from Education Week. The survey found that over half of teachers feel comfortable using new technology, and 24% think of themselves as risk takers in trying out new offerings, however, most of them only implement it for drills and practice exercises. But this seems to depend on the income level of the school these teachers work in. In addition, many schools are not even bothering to teach students how to use technology effectively.
