Each year the Horizon Report describes six areas of emerging technology that will have significant impact on K-12 Education and creative expression over the next one to five years.
The areas of emerging technology cited for 2012 are:
Time to adoption: One Year or Less Mobile Devices and Apps
Tablet Computing
Two to Three Years Game Based Learning
Personal Learning Environments
Four to Five Years Augmented Reality
Natural User Interfaces
