2026 UEN Tech Summit

Discover how Securly's AI Transparency Solution gives districts centralized visibility into student AI activity across all platforms. Learn to move beyond blanket bans with smart guardrails, connect AI insights with safety monitoring, and use real data to guide responsible AI use and digital citizenship policies.

AI tools are showing up across classrooms faster than most districts can track or govern them. From writing assistants to image generators and chatbots, students and teachers are using dozens of platforms every day, often with little visibility into how those tools are being accessed or used. In this exhibit hall session, we’ll walk through how Securly’s AI Transparency Solution, built directly into SafetyOS, gives schools a clear, centralized view of AI activity across all tools students use, not just one platform. You’ll see how AI visibility connects with web filtering, student safety monitoring, and classroom workflows to create smarter guardrails instead of blanket bans. We’ll share real examples of how districts are using this connected approach to spot trends, address risk early, guide responsible AI use, and support innovation without losing oversight. Objectives/Takeaways Participants will learn how to: Gain district-wide visibility into student AI usage across multiple tools; move from blocking AI to setting smart, responsible guardrails; connect AI insights with student safety and web activity for better context; use data to guide digital citizenship and AI policies in real classrooms.

Explore how esports facilities and cyber learning labs leverage advanced AV technologies to create engaging, high‑performance learning environments. Dive into AV design fundamentals, AV over IP workflows, considerations for these collaborative spaces, and strategies for creating scalable, future-ready systems that support seamless interaction and evolving instructional requirements.

With the rapid growth of esports and cyber education programs, effective audiovisual system integration is paramount in creating engaging and interactive environments. In this session, we will explore the fundamentals of AV system design, implementation, and the range of AV technologies utilized in these modern hubs. We will spotlight approaches that optimize system integration to ensure seamless interactions and active learning experiences in these spaces. Discover how AV over IP enhances and streamlines signal routing, cable management, control systems, and network infrastructure. Attendees will also gain insights into the importance of annotation and touchscreen interaction, plus the crucial role that collaborative spaces play for post-game reviews, coaching, group discussions, and complementary activities. Lastly, we’ll explore strategies for designing future-ready systems that can scale and adapt to evolving requirements and emerging technologies.

This presentation outlines best practices and a structured troubleshooting framework for solving elusive Wi-Fi issues. Learn to categorize problems into connectivity, mobility, and performance, and use advanced analytics to effectively diagnose and resolve common user complaints like "slow network" or "dropped calls."

Network administrators constantly face user complaints blaming "Wi-Fi" for every issue. This session details an effective, six-step troubleshooting framework, from problem identification to final resolution. We will dive into essential infrastructure best practices, including proper cell sizing and managing legacy data rates. Furthermore, attendees will learn to categorize Wi-Fi problems—Connectivity, Mobility, and Performance—and gain actionable insights on interpreting common user reports to quickly pinpoint and eliminate the true root cause.

Join Linewize for an interactive session to pull back the curtain on what’s really happening on K-12 networks. Your filter handles the basics, but you still spend too much time putting out fires. Content slips through the cracks in Google Docs, your students spin up new proxies and workarounds daily, and staying ahead of AI-generated imagery feels impossible. We’ll explore where traditional URL filtering falls short, and how the latest advancements in content-aware filtering and real-time monitoring are helping IT teams work smarter, even with tightening budgets and resources, to close crucial student safety gaps.

Join Canyons and Box Elder School District tech leaders for a deep dive into the essentials of modern district management: data privacy, cybersecurity, and resource accountability. As digital landscapes grow more complex, ensuring student data remains secure while maintaining a "noise-free" learning environment is a top priority for Utah LEAs. This session explores how to leverage the ClassLink suite to gain total visibility into your digital ecosystem. Eric Taylor from Canyons School District and Eric McEwan from Box Elder School District will share practical strategies for fortifying your security posture, auditing software efficacy, and ensuring every digital tool in your district serves a clear, purposeful goal.

An exploration of how school leaders can responsibly leverage AI to identify risks earlier, strengthen prevention strategies, and make faster, more informed decisions that protect students and staff.

As artificial intelligence rapidly enters the education landscape, school leaders face both unprecedented opportunity and responsibility. This session explores how K–12 administrators and safety teams can ethically and effectively leverage AI to identify potential risks earlier, strengthen prevention strategies, and support faster, more informed decision‑making that protects students and staff. Participants will examine practical use cases for AI across prevention, threat identification, situational awareness, and decision support—while also addressing critical considerations related to governance, bias, privacy, and human oversight. Through real‑world scenarios, guided discussion, and interactive risk‑assessment exercises, attendees will evaluate where AI adds value, where it should be constrained, and how it can responsibly augment—not replace—professional judgment. The session concludes with actionable frameworks and guiding principles school leaders can use to assess AI tools, align them to safety priorities, and build policies that balance innovation, ethics, and student well‑being.
