From the Paper:

Not only are professional teachers asked to do more with more students, more with psychopathology, more with students who have significantly dysfunctional family background, but teachers must also teach to a level of testing set by many who are non-educators while staying abreast of the latest in their fields. To some educators, it would seem that the addition of technology and the incorporation of technology and media into the classroom an impossible task."Sample of Sources Used:
