State EdTech Trends Report  \nBy Keith Lee, Evo Popoff, and David Walker Foreword by Sydnee Dickson,  \nFormer State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Utah State Board of Education  \nProduced by Commissioned by  \nPREFACE  \nBy: Sydnee Dickson, Former State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Utah State Board of Education  \n“ I would reminisce about the expressions on the  \nfaces of our students who thought Pong was the most exciting game they had ever played…We are still in the early days of AI and we are all those students in my classroom whose minds were  \nblown by Pong. ”  \nI  \nhave had the gift of serving as a public educator in the great state of Utah for over four decades. Most recently, I served  \nfor nine years as the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, ending my tenure June, 2025. During that time, I witnessed changes in educators’ approach to teaching and learning along with changes in the tools and technology used in our classrooms. I also witnessed the resilience of families, educators, and students weathering the storm of the pandemic.  \nThrough it all, one thing has always been clear to me: the importance of relationships in order to help students find opportunities for success. Technology has played an important part in helping forge human connections that lead to improved outcomes and opportunities.  \nLet me provide an example. Coming out of the Covid-19 pandemic, Utah experienced adip in student outcomes, just like every other state. But that dip was not as severe in Utah as it was elsewhere. Why? When schools  \nabruptly closed, we had technology in place and teachers ready to lean in to support remote learning.  \nAlmost a decade ago, Utah put the Digital Teaching and Learning initiative in place. That work started with a willing group of stakeholders who shared a vision for where we could go as a state with the infusion of technology, coupled with funding and accountability supporting the vision. Atthe time, we didn’t know how many bumps awaited us on the road ahead. But I firmly believe that the successes the state has achieved along the way have resulted from our focus on people working together—not the technology itself.  \nThe collaboration behind the Digital Teaching and Learning initiative consisted of educators, administrators, policymakers, parents, and state ed tech leaders. In articulating our vision for the future, it was absolutely essential to get everybody at the table to understand the importance of educating students for a rapidly  \n2025 State EdTech Trends Report | 2  \nchanging world and the role that technology could play in that work.  \nIt definitely helped to have a number of us at the state education agency who were, ourselves, early adopters of educational technology in our classrooms. I would reminisce (and share a laugh) with Rick Gaisford, an Educational Technology Specialist who I have known as a colleague and friend for decades, about the Apple IIe computers that we had in our classrooms and the expressions on the faces of our students who thought Pong was the most exciting game they had ever played. Technology has changed a lot through the years. But that early exposure was critical as we dealt with each new wave of technological innovation. It also put us in a great position when it came to building that vision with our state peers and leaders and—perhaps more importantly—for the hard work of engaging educators and administrators across the state to support the effective and meaningful adoption of edtech in their classrooms.  \nThroughout this journey over the past decade—and indeed, throughout my career—connecting with colleagues, whether within our state, across the country, or internationally, has been key to our ability to problem-solve and be innovative. This is where SETDA (and a number of other organizations) have played a critical role: providing connective tissue with colleagues who may have more expertise and experience and are more than willing to share an","cbCaiqi4DCtkcPkm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqi4DCtkcPkm","pdf",816478,26,"English","# Preface\n## Executive Director","[{\"question\":\"Why does the report emphasize relationships alongside technology in education?\",\"answer\":\"The foreword argues that successful outcomes come from human connections built through collaboration among educators, families, and edtech leaders, not from technology alone.\"},{\"question\":\"How did Utah respond to the pandemic compared with other states?\",\"answer\":\"Utah experienced a less severe dip in student outcomes because it had technology in place and teachers prepared to support remote learning when schools abruptly closed.\"},{\"question\":\"What opportunities and risks does the report associate with AI in education?\",\"answer\":\"The report highlights AI as a vehicle for connecting and enabling personalization with real-time feedback, while cautioning that students could become more isolated and absorbed in screens.\"}]","2025 State EdTech Trends Report | PDF",1792061066,66]
