How technology is used in American schools is not the same for all students.  For many years already, tech experts (aka "Silicon Valley Parents") have taken drastic measures to limit their own kids' use and exposure to screens.  This includes sending their kids to low-tech and/or no-tech schools as well as making their nannies sign "no screens" contracts (see 1, 2, 3, 4).  In the meantime, many American public schools continue to use "high-tech" curriculums though some have started to ban students' use of personal cell phones.  Of course, "high-tech" curriculums allow for online activity monitoring and a growing number of parents and students are becoming more concerned about that.
