Abstract: This document provides an overview of trends and topics in educational technology for the year 2023. The authors analyzed data from various sources to identify current attitudes and behaviors in the educational technology community. The analysis shows that higher education was the primary focus of research, with secondary schools being more represented than elementary schools. Language learning and support and professional development were prominent topics. Online learning was the dominant modality, followed by virtual and augmented reality. Google Docs was the most shared domain on school and district Facebook pages, indicating its widespread use in educational settings. There was a decline in the percentage of YouTube and Zoom links shared, possibly indicating a trend towards prioritizing student privacy and reduced engagement in remote activities. The use of tools for event sign-ups increased, suggesting a surge in posts promoting event registrations post-COVID-19. The popularity of open educational resources (OER) on the EdTech Books platform was highlighted, with theoretical aspects of educational technology, technology-specific guidance, and research and evaluation guidelines being the most accessed chapters. The United States, the Philippines, and India were the countries with the highest platform usage, and mobile devices were increasingly used to access the platform. The analysis of university websites revealed differences in how educators in politically blue and rural states pay attention to artificial intelligence (AI) and OER. The data shows a growing interest in AI-related educational resources on the Teachers Pay Teachers platform, with AI references becoming more prevalent compared to mentions of OER. However, concerns such as academic fraud [Extracted from the article]
