2011 Horizon Report K12 - 5 views

  •  
    The NMC Horizon Report series is the mostvisible outcome of the NMC Horizon Project, anongoing research effort established in 2002 thatidentifies and describes emerging technologieslikely to have a large impact on teaching,learning, research, or creative expression withineducation around the globe. This volume, The NMC Horizon Report: 2011 K-12 Edition examines emergingtechnologies for their potential impact on and use inteaching, learning, and creative expression within theenvironment of pre-college education. The hope isthat the report is useful to educators worldwide, andthe international composition of the advisory boardreflects the care with which a global perspective wasassembled. While there are many local factors affectingthe practice of education, there are also issues thattranscend regional boundaries, questions we all facein K-12 education, and it was with these in mind thatthis report was created. The NMC Horizon Report: 2011 K-12 Edition is the third in the K-12 series of reportsand is produced by the NMC in collaboration withthe Consortium for School Networking (CoSN), andthe International Society for Technology in Education(ISTE), with the generous support of HP's Office ofGlobal Social Innovation.

    "Welcome to the workspace for the Horizon.K12 Project. This space is a place for the members of the Horizon.K12 Advisory Board to manage the process of researching, discussing, and ultimately, selecting the topics for the 2010 Horizon Report: K-12 Edition. The annual K12-focused report, which summarizes the qualitative research that will be conducted on this wiki, and the K12 Project as a whole are a collaboration between The New Media Consortium and the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN). The generous support of the Office of Global Social Innovation at Hewlett Packard makes this research possible and is thankfully acknowledged."

  • As the project got underway, there was considerable interest in seeing the how similarly K-12 and higher education were viewing emerging technology. As it turned out, there is a considerable overlap, but there are also clear distinctions.
  • collaborative environments and online communication tools
  • barriers such as policy constraints on using online tools, the fact that many students do not bring laptops to school (as opposed to many college students, who do), and policies that restrict Internet access in many schools.

  • Communication tools are a part of most students’ daily lives outside of school.
    • Michelle Krill
       
      Blogs, skype, and many other tools apply here. Moodle has some of these built in, as do other services.
  • Collaborative Environments,

      Online tools such as wikis, mindmapping sites, social networks would apply here.
  • Over the next year, we anticipate that both groups of technologies will begin to move into the mainstream of teaching practice.

      I hope so. But, as I travel around the state I'm still seeing schools blocking wikis and blogs - even in IU buildings where the only users are adults! The fear of lawsuits is palpable! What we need is a news-worthy crisis to make us take this seriously.
  • Multi-touch interfaces, GPS capability, and the ability to run third-party applications make today’s mobile device an increasingly flexible tool that is readily adapted to a wide range of tasks for social networking, learning, and productivity.
  • Collaborative work, research, social networking, media sharing, virtual computers: all are enabled by applications that live in the cloud.

      Google Apps for Education is useful for cloud computing, as well as collaborative work.
  • There are a number of technologies that are used to configure and manage the ways in which we view and use the Internet;

      The start of this is already here with the use of RSS. Teachers and students can personalize their web experience, which in turn can personalize their learning experience.

2009 Horizon Report: The K12 Edition » Critical Challenges - 0 views

  • Students and teachers both are finding it necessary to be technologically adept, to be able to collaborate on a global scale and to understand content and media design.
  • Schools need to adapt to current student needs and identify new learning models that are engaging to younger generations.
  • To support such a change, both teaching practice and the tools used in the classroom must adapt. Assessment has also not kept pace with new modes of working, and must change along with teaching methods, tools, and materials.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Use of technology tools that are already familiar to students, project-based learning practices that incorporate real-life experiences, and mentoring from community members are a few practices that support increased engagement.
  • Technology tools that are part of everyday life for many students and working professionals should be seen as core tools of the teaching profession that teachers are required to master as any professional would master the tools of his or her trade.
  • Learners have increasing opportunities to take their education into their own hands, and options like informal education, online education, and home-based learning are attracting students away from traditional educational settings. If the system is to remain relevant it must adapt, but major change comes hard in education.

  • Technology continues to profoundly affect the way we work, collaborate, communicate, and succeed.
  • The digital divide, once seen as a factor of wealth, is now seen as a factor of education: those who have the opportunity to learn technology skills are in a better position to obtain and make use of technology than those who do not.
    • anonymous
       
      I like this quote. Once considerd a factor fo wealth is now considered a factor of education. That's a game-changing phrase if you agree with it. Wouldn't you agree?
  • Once seen as an isolating influence, technology is now recognized as a primary way to stay in touch and take control of one’s own learning.

      In order for technology to enable students (of all ages) to take control of their own learning, what kind of tools must be open? Does YOUR school's network truly enable students to take control of their learning?

  • It gives students a public voice and a means to reach beyond the classroom for interaction and exploration.
  • They expect and experience personalized content in games and websites that is at odds with what they find in the classroom.
  • The “spaces” where students learn are becoming more community-driven, interdisciplinary, and supported by technologies that engage virtual communication and collaboration.
  • The ways we design learning experiences must reflect the growing importance of innovation and creativity as professional skills.
  • The way we think of learning environments is changing.

      Is it fair to say that this is true - everywhere EXCEPT at school?
  • Technology is increasingly a means for empowering students, a method for communication and socializing, and a ubiquitous, transparent part of their lives

Eigth habits of highly effective 21st century teachers - 0 views

  • We expect our students to be life-long learners. Teachers, must continue to absorb experiences and knowledge, as well. We must endeavour to stay current. I wonder how many people are still using their lesson and unit plans from five years ago. To be a teacher, you must learn and adapt as the horizons and landscapes change.

      Teachers need to be encouraged to showcase their love of learning. If not lifelong learners, how can teachers expect students to love learning?
