In Sheffield schools I saw plenty of death by powerpoint, of machine operator type training (and thinking). There is no doubt that technology is not being used properly. Its easy to chuck money at the problem and buy computers. Its much less easy to use them properly.
This book looks as though it outlines the potential problems of the technology approach. Which is a useful exercise. I wonder if it has anything positive to add?
