Beyond the Screen: Keith Krueger on What's Next for School Technology
Episode notes
In this episode of Integrate This!, David and Jeremy welcome Keith Krueger, CEO of CoSN, for a thoughtful conversation about what’s next for school technology.
Keith shares perspective from decades of work in education technology, from the early days of internet connectivity to today’s rapidly evolving conversations around artificial intelligence. Together, they explore cybersecurity, student data privacy, AI readiness, accessibility, digital equity, screen time concerns, E-rate funding, and the changing role of technology leaders in K–12 schools.
The conversation also digs into one of the biggest challenges facing educators and leaders today: how to move beyond broad debates about “screen time” and focus instead on purposeful, well-designed uses of technology that support learning.
From AI sandboxes to cybersecurity tabletop exercises, Keith offers practical insight for district leaders trying to navigate complex decisions while keeping students, teachers, and communities at the center.
