• Horizon Report 2009 K12 Edition Released at CoSN Conference | nmc

  Recently, the New Media Consortium published the Horizon Report K-12 Edition. In the report they outline technologies to watch over the next year, 2-3 years and 4-5 years. They also examine key trends in education as well as critical challenges. Very interesting stuff! I think you might find the examples of practice outlined in each of the six “technologies to watch”:

  5. Smart objects
  6. The personal web
