Horizon Report

 





For your interest, each year I post about the latest  NMC Horizon Report that examines emerging technologies for their potential impact and use in teaching, learning, and creative inquiry within the K-12  environment.

This year the Report identifies "Rethinking the Role of Teachers" and the "Shift to Deeper
Learning Approaches" as fast  trends accelerating the adoption of educational technology over the next one to two years. The expectation is that there will be  an emphasis in the classroom on more challenge based,active learning. This will mean that learning will be  more student centred, allowing them to investigate and connect with their own lives and communities.

Six emerging technologies are identified across three adoption horizons over the next one to five years are:

1 year or less - BYOD and Cloud Computing

2-3 years - Games and Gamification and Learning Analytics.

4-5 years - The Internet of Things and Wearable technology
