Brian Potash is the Regional Manager for OverDrive Education, and he dropped by to discuss his thoughts on the future of technology in education.

“I’ve been so excited to see the sheer amount of technology and EdTech that has been injected into the classroom.

While the pandemic has been extremely challenging for schools and educators, it has provided a very unique opportunity to advance education by more than a decade by providing different types of tools and resources that educators have never had before this.

And what’s exciting is that, while many schools have tried digital for the first time because of the need for remote and blended learning, they are now excited to enjoy the benefits that digital can provide by providing students with greater accessibility and greater tools and providing teachers with better insights into how students are engaging with those digital materials.

So, it’s really exciting to see where we can go from here.”

CoSN tells school districts to plan for adoption before they buy new tech

CoSN tells school districts to plan for adoption before they buy new tech

CoSN's 2026 Blaschke Report and companion toolkit give K-12 districts a plan for technology change. Its main point is timing. Districts should define the problem, the success measure and staff workload before procurement, then run rollouts through change champions and a council that reviews significant technology changes.

  • 01CoSN’s toolkit pushes planning before procurement: define the problem, affected groups, timeline, and success measures, and account for competing initiatives and implementation fatigue.
  • 02The toolkit urges leaders to account for competing initiatives and implementation fatigue before procurement or a districtwide rollout.
  • 03After launch, districts should track adoption indicators, review feedback and help requests, keep refresher training going, and conduct a post-implementation review.

Copyleaks says Classroom reach spans most K-12 and higher ed

Copyleaks says Classroom reach spans most K-12 and higher ed

Copyleaks says its Classroom integration reaches most K-12 and higher ed LMS platforms. Copyleaks says Instructure recently named it a top-tier strategic sales partner, and it describes a partnership with D2L Brightspace that broadens access for colleges and universities. For schools, key choices include billing on the LMS invoice and AI Sensitivity settings that align thresholds with policy.

  • 01When nearly nine in ten students use AI for schoolwork, the sensitivity threshold a school sets in Copyleaks works as its AI policy, written in software.
  • 02Copyleaks says the integration brings it to learning management systems used by approximately 80% of the K-12 market and 95% of higher education institutions. That is the ceiling on who could turn it on, not a count of paying schools.
  • 03Before scanning against Copyleaks' Shared Data Hub, institutions decide whether student papers join a pool shared with other institutions. The API can limit comparisons to the school's own submissions and permanently purge documents.
