Districts learning mistakes about 1-1

I recently read an article written by Malia Herman for Edweek.org about how a superintendent in Florida learned several mistakes from other districts about implementing 1-1 technology's in her district.  The article went into depth discussing how the 1-1 concept is like a "shiny new toy"  everyone wants to buy it, but once they get it, they have no clue what to do with it. 

 For the past few years I feel that school districts have been looking for the quick easy answer to close the learning gap and technology is one of them.  Lets buy everything, throw it at the teacher, and have them figure it out.

The article discusses how Sylvia Diaz learned from other mistakes of school districts from around the country.  She discovered that it was not wise to purchase 354,00 tablets at once, but rather to purchase only a few and pilot the program at first to see if warranted more purchases for the district.  This i feel is a great idea because it makes that mistakes that WILL happen much more manageable on a smaller scale.  

I love the concept of 1-1 technology in the classroom, but my biggest fear is that school districts across the country (not all)  will just throw the technology in the classroom and say here you go figure it out.  I have heard of this happening where smartboards will show up in a classroom one day, with no proper training or workshops on how to properly utilize it in the classroom.
