Meris Stansbury recently wrote an article with eSchool News in which she listed 6 technologies that are on the cusp of entering our classrooms. This is based upon the latest K-12 Horizon Report that has been produced by the New Media Consortium (NMC), Consortium of School Networking (CoSN) and the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) for the past 4 years.
You can download the 2012 K-12 Horizon Report here.
The Horizon Report identifies 6 emerging technologies across three adoption horizons:
1 year or less
- Mobile Devices and Apps
- Tablet Computing
2 – 3 years
- Game-based learning
- Personal Learning Environments
4 – 5 years
- Augmented Reality
- Natural User Interfaces
The K-12 Horizon Report actually contains twice this number of predictions so I strongly suggest that you download it from the NMC website and review it for yourself. None of these predictions are earth-shaking but they are acknowledgements of the research and progress that have occurred in each of these areas.
What do you think? Is the Horizon Report correct or do you think that there are some shades of darkness that haven’t been considered?

two things, this really is in fact a really good evaluation that
is probably appropriate. Think about this. That smaller chip would allow a lot more space for your battery
to aaccomadate the 4g! 2, what happened towards the old
post?
