2026 Education Technology Trends - Identity, Security and Devices at Scale

Explore strategic frameworks for managing K-12 education technology at scale in this 21-minute webinar that addresses four major forces reshaping education IT in 2026: AI adoption, tool proliferation, cyber threats, and device diversity. Learn how to transition from traditional device deployment to comprehensive IT orchestration through three strategic pillars: seamless learning access, purposeful device deployment, and security by design. Discover why AI adoption requires robust identity governance and how automated identity management systems can handle the interoperability challenges of modern educational environments. Understand the security implications of distributed learning environments where traditional school firewall perimeters no longer exist, and examine how identity serves as education's control plane for managing diverse technology ecosystems. Gain insights into device strategy that extends beyond procurement to include managing immersive technologies like AR/VR, and learn how to shift focus from individual tools to comprehensive learning experiences. Access practical implementation steps for IT teams managing anywhere from 500 to 40,000 students, with real-world frameworks for identity lifecycle automation, security architecture, and device management that can scale digital learning without increasing IT workload.
