For Erez Pikar, CEO of Trox, these weeks of back-to-school chaos may ultimately prove to be the solution to truly integrating technology into schools, and at home, in a meaningful and productive way. In this episode, Erez finds silver linings to digital equity, professional development, and more.

For more than 30 years, the Trox team has partnered with educators across North America in the planning, purchasing, deployment and use of technology in pursuit of better access and improved learning outcomes for students of all ages. With a sole focus on the education market, Trox has fostered trusted relationships with over one-third of school districts in the U.S and Canada and provides technology products and services that are in use by over 20 million students every day.

Erez Pikar has been building technology businesses for the last 25 years, with a dedicated focus on supporting education for the last 14. In mid-2019, Pikar led the merger of Troxell Communications and CDI Technologies to create North America’s largest education technology provider, Trox.

Today, as Chief Executive Officer, Erez leads a team of individuals whose sole focus is helping educators plan, buy and effectively leverage technology in classrooms. He is a passionate advocate of education believing it is the most important of all human endeavors. This drives and shapes the company’s mission – to serve educators in the pursuit of better access and improved learning outcomes for students of all ages.

Since uniting in July of 2019, CDI Technologies and Troxell Solutions have flourished as Troxell-CDI. The two visionary EdTech leaders successfully combined to form a dynamic thought leader, devoted to helping educators improve learning outcomes, and are positioned to lead the industry with substantial growth in 2020 and beyond.

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.
