I'd also add to this that these technologies can be disruptive in another tangential fashion. It's not like a school can ever reach the point of being 100% technologically integrated. You can always have more tools, more software, and more technology in general.
And so if at some point you do not step back and say, "You know, I think our problem might be that our current trajectory is fundamentally failing to improve the educational process.", then you can effectively spend an infinite amount of time, energy, and money pursuing a task that is not, and will not, ever provide the results that you're seeking - yet there you are convincing yourself that all you need is a bit more money, a bit more time, or the hottest new tech.
And the view will always be controversial because there is an immense amount of money to be made in providing these tools and that money will fight back. It's also quite intuitive that technology should be able to provide substantial improvements in education, and so those driven by their intuition will also fight back. Unfortunately, something being intuitive and something being correct are far from the same thing.
