When identifying a problem in middle school environments, one curricular issue that many schools lack is having the resources needed to integrate technology into the classroom. The active use of technology has been increasing in the educational context for several years. Schools are now implementing technology courses and lessons in middle grades to help students succeed in the classroom. By becoming more academically inclined, students should receive technology-enriched lessons. By actively participating in the lesson, students have the opportunity to work on a variety of skills such as vocabulary development, grammar, mathematics, science, career-based activities and other areas relevant to education. In carrying out this research, this paper will provide research-based information on technology challenges in middle schools. Looking at the deficit, teachers do not have the necessary resources to teach the lessons mentioned in the curriculum in middle schools due to lack of technological aids. As a 21st century teacher, technology is a critical area used in the middle school context. Students are very motivated in regards to using technology since we live in a technological society. Most middle schools lack the equipment needed to help students pass accelerated reading tests and test preparation materials. Classrooms are in desperate need of more equipment for teachers to use in preparing their lessons. There are a number of problems in middle schools that prevent students from making progress. Technology has consumed everything and educators are the last to adapt to the integration of technologies in the classroom and the transformations in teaching and learning (Cuban, 2001, p. 189) Even if funds are allocated for technology in schools, this does not mean that there are sufficient funds to provide all available technological aids. There are many factors that indicate whether a school receives funding to purchase assistive technology. With limited funding due to budget cuts, most schools are concerned about having enough money to purchase the technology. Based on nationwide budget cuts in education, schools and districts that do not receive incentives likely cannot purchase new technology equipment. Perhaps they can purchase older or obsolete technology. On the other hand, most schools that are not state-funded have vast technological assets, and most students in these schools score better on tests.
