In 2022, ISL performed a US-wide K-12 EdTech Safety Benchmark. The sample set encompassed 663 K-12 schools across the US and District of Columbia; 13 schools in each state (and DC). In total, over 1700 unique technologies were identified as required or recommended in the sample of schools. The research amassed:

• 29,000+ data points about schools and school technology behaviors,
• 88,000+ data points on 1700+ EdTech apps, and
• Over 1200 apps’ worth of network traffic flows.
